first of hello everyone and happy holidays. i just bought a 2006 gs300 awd. the car has a few issues. the check vsc, check engine, and the circle with parentheses and ! in the middle are all on. i had the car checked and it shows im getting random misfires in the cylinders. also the car has a slight vibration while picking up speed around 40mph sometimes. i have new tires rotors and brakes. its not when braking so i know its not the front. the complete car vibrates and just stop once in a while. any clue where to start ?

see your in IL, did you buy private party or from a dealer??

i got the car from a auto auction as a theft recovery vehicle, no damage, just the mechanical stuff


i called the dealer, they ran my vins and said all recalls were done, no new recalls recently i was told

It's not really a recall, its an extended warranty on engine internals from carbon buildup

Rusty9359

well i just got the car, it has 130k miles, what the chance they will fix mine?

Well, on my 06 IS250 has the same carbon build up and they issued a 3 year extension and unlimited mileage for carbon build up

they should fix it...mine has gone through a complete set of valves, i am on my second or third time with this same exact problem and the dealer isnt questioning it at all....if you have issues contact lexus corporate office they can be more than helpful!!

Its possible then that this has already been performed on your car. Would assume if a Lexus dealer pulled your vin they would have checked all service bulletins along with any recalls. At this point just take it into the dealer and confirm.

If you don't have a contact at any local Chicago dealers post in the Chicago region were another local member can help get you to someone that will take good care of you.

so i finally spoke with a service manager, he was aware of the misfires in the 06 gs300 models. im bringing in the car now. he said if it meets all the symptoms they will warranty all they work )))))))))))))

I just had my car serviced based on the misfire. They had it for 3 days. They took the engine refit new piston rings, cleaned out the carbon build up - almost like getting a refurb engine. Beverly Hills Lexus repair costs around $9200. It was free via the extended warranty. WOw that was nice of Lexus corp.
