Common problems with Lexus cars
As awesome as this car is, it has its own problems;
- Majorly users complain about the rate of consumption for fuel this is largely caused by bad oxygen sensor (O2 sensor) this is one of the most significant pieces in the vehicles emission system, its major function is to measure the amount of oxygen in the gas. When this O2 sensor is faulty, the fuel-intake and fuel-combustion will be thrown off, and the amount of fuel injected into the engine will increase, the excess fuel in the engine may produce a “sulphuric” smell or black smoke will the emitted from the exhaust.
- Some other issues that are common with the newer models of the car is that they have a lot of programmable errors like windows going down but cannot go up, despite the availability of experts on this issue many users of aren’t willing to give their cars to this people.
- Another well documented issue with a couple of models is the sensitivity of the car to various automated Transmission Fluids (ATF) this causes the car to drag while accelerating, feeling as though the car is being pushed and also some stiffness with the steering wheel.
