Default Buring Oil Problems? Misfires?

I was wondering if anyone had buring oil problems or misfires again like in the 2006 GS.. I don't want to buy this thing and then have to deal with that problem a second time. I will move on to a acura RLX sport hybrid or something.

Never heard of any problems like you describe on '13, '14, or '15 models of the GS350.

Default 14 gs

experienced misfire on my 14 GS. it was vibrating so badly that I had to immediately pull over.

Dealer replaced air filter, spark plugs, changed engine oil, flushed engine, drained gasoline, etc.. They pretty much flushed and drained everything that was connected to engine. They do not know the cause. Since then it hasn't happened. Lexus financial waived one month payment although it took a while to convince them.

Thank God mine is leased, but still has 11 months left and hope it doesn't happen. My first lexus and never going back although my wife's 2004 RX never had any issues. knock on wood.
