The contact owns a 2006 Lexus GS300. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted and driven to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the coolant was unable to get to the engine, which caused it to overheat and blow the head gasket. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 97,000. Updated 02/02/15 the consumer stated the clamp holding the hose from the radiator to the engine failed. The manufacturer did not offer any assistance.

GS 300

My 2006 Lexus GS300 is consuming oil. I have taken the car to the Lexus dealer 4 times. The car is still under warranty and there is not anything being done to correct the problem. I purchased the car in August 2008. This problem occurred 18 months after I purchased the car. I continue to get sent away without an answer to the problem. From my research the problem are the rings. One of the Lexus technicians accidentally stated that the last time I took the car in. The car is consuming 1-2 pints of oil a month. There has not been anything done to correct the problem.
