SRS Driver side knee air bag DTC B1861

The anti-reflective coating on the rear view mirror on the inside of the car is coming through the mirror causing black spots that obscure vision out the back of the car. This issue affects all 2006-2011 Lexus gs models. All oem replacements online have this happen to some degree. I bought this car a couple months ago, this was an issue from the day I bought it and most likely started many years prior in my specific model.

The contact owns a 2007 Lexus GS350. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated to start and there was a fuel odor inside the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was jerking while driving. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic, where it was diagnosed with engine misfire and defective fuel injectors. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V012000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.

My vehicle has been making noises on start-up and in time it makes the same knocking noise while idling. I brought my car to my mechanic and he says it’s my VVTI system failing and should be remedied under campaign 13V395000. The problem is holding Lexus accountable since it’s not an open recall under my VIN. I’ve contacted Lexus directly and confirmed this service was not completed. My VIN is listed on your site as being a potential for this issue. Please help, thanks.

LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON 1000 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE AT LEXUS DEALERSHIP. CAR WAS LOW 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL. BLUE GREY SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE CAR DURING ACCELERATION AND CAR SMELLED LIKE POISON INSIDE VERY UNSAFE. CAR HAS BEEN DEALER MAINTAINED FOR EVERYTHING. CAR WAS CERTIFIED PRE OWNED AS WELL. AT 100,000 MILES OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS DONE AND WAS IN FACT PROVED TO BE BURNING OIL. CAR IS BURNING WAY TOO MUCH OIL. I'VE HAD 4 OTHER VEHICLES NONE HAVE BURNED OIL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I MIGHT HAVE TO BUY A NEW ENGINE SOON. PLEASE HELP ME OUT. THANK YOU.

INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR DISCOLORATION INCLUDING BLACK STREAKS AND SPOTS MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAFELY OBSERVE BEHIND VEHICLE. LEXUS HAS AN INTERNAL "SECRET" SAFETY TSIB L-SB-0043-16 BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT OR PERFORM A REPAIR, CLAIMING IT IS NOT THE SUBJECT OF A OFFICIAL RECALL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR MANY LEXUS OWNERS AND IS WIDESPREAD ACROSS NUMEROUS LEXUS MODELS OVER THE YEARS OF 2006 THROUGH 2009 AND INCLUDES GS300, GS350, GS430, GS450H AND GS460. I CALLED THE "LEXUS GUEST EXPERIENCE CENTER" AT THEIR 800 NUMBER AND THEY WERE EVASIVE AND COMBATIVE WITH ABSOLUTELY ONE GOAL IN MIND: NO SAFETY ISSUE WILL BE COVERED WITHOUT BEING FORCED INTO COVERAGE THROUGH A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SERVICE BULLETIN CLEARLY COVERS THE VIN OF MY 2007 GS350 AND CLEARLY IDENTIFIES THE DEFECTIVE MIRROR. SEARCHES ACROSS THE INTERNET SHOW MANY COMPLAINTS BY OWNERS OF LEXUS REFUSING TO FIX THIS DEFECTIVE MIRROR. HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/THE-INSIDE-REAR-VIEW-MIRROR-MAY-BECOME-DISCOLORED-857 HTTPS://R

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING WHILE IN MOTION AND/OR STOPPED. TRUSTED REPAIR SHOP SAID HEADLIGHT BALLAST IS BAD AND THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE BALLAST IS STARTING TO MAKE NOISE AS IF IT IS GOING BAD AS WELL. THEY HAVE REPAIRED MANY LEXUS CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF THE CAR. IN SOME CASES, DRIVERS HAVE HAD BOTH HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF AT ONCE. LEXUS REQUIRES A COMPLETE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE THE BAD BALLAST, A COST OF OVER $2500 FOR BOTH SIDES. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SHOULD BOTH HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.
