I took my car to my mechanic for an oil change, and they noticed an oil leak at the timing chain cover, which could pose a safety risk, including a potential engine fire. They informed me this is a known issue on Toyota and Lexus vehicles with the 3.5-liter V6 engine. To confirm, I brought the car to a Lexus dealership, and they verified the same problem.

I went to start my vehicle and it started turning but never started. After a few tries it started and then completely went out every time. I haven't been able to use my vehicle for almost a month now. I got 3 different mechanics to look at it and they still weren't able to get it back working and I all they could tell me was it had something to do with the fuel pump and the high pressure pump.
