Lexus Ct 200h 2011

• Recall 2016335 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, a defect in the curtain shield airbags could cause the inflator to fail, releasing pressurized gas into the airbag, partially inflating it. If this occurs, parts of the inflator could also separate from the vehicle structure, entering the interior of the vehicle. Should this occur when occupants are in the vehicle, unintended airbag deployment could startle the driver, and airbag inflator parts could come into contact with the occupants, increasing the risk of injury and a crash. Correction: dealers will install a retention bracket which will prevent the inflator parts from entering the vehicle interior.

Consumes 3-5 additional quarts of oil between regularly scheduled oil changes.

Consumes 3-5 additional quarts of oil between regularly scheduled oil changes.

I have to add 4-5 quarts in between oil changes. My engine consumes so much oil and i believe it's constantly burning. Also when i break it makes a loud electric braking noise. It's the hybrid breaking system and it's really loud.

Lexus is aware of a safety issue that has caused fires due to an improper wiring harness installed on toyota prius and lexus ct200h vehicles. I asked for this to be covered under the warranty enhancement program (i was not made aware of the existence of it till very recently, but it expired in october 2019). They refused, citing the fact that i did not spend enough money with lexus to service the vehicle. Now, even after lightbulb and fuse replacement, the low beam headlights in the vehicle are inoperable.

I experienced loud engine vibration at cold starts for a couple of weeks, then i started seeing white smoke from my tailpipe. I took my vehicle to lexus river-center, covington, ky, on 14feb19 to complete tsb l-sb-0004-13 which replaces the intake manifold with a new part number. The vibrations and white smoke seemed to be remedied; however, a week later, 22feb19, while entering a freeway on-ramp, my car engine made a loud noise like a shotgun blast while in motion on the freeway, metal fragments were expelled from my engine block, the oil light came on, my car died, and i had to coast to the shoulder. I was almost hit from behind. I had the car towed to kerry toyota the same day for diagnosis. On 24feb19, kerry toyota informed me that my engine threw a rod and there were 3 holes in my engine block (i change my oil at regular intervals with mobile 0w-20 as prescribed by the manufacturer). There are many complaints concerning this models' head gasket, egr valve, and intake manifold on ct200h and lexus forums to justify a recall. My concern is the tsb to replace the intake manifold merely addresses premature symptoms and does not address the prolonged effect of excessive moisture in the engine.

Head gasket leaking oil

Car shakes vibrantly and makes a rattling noise when starting. Does it at times when coming to a stop also. Engine light comes on. Have had exhaust manifold changed and tune up because scanner show a misfire on a spark plug but none of those seemed to fix the problem. Is there a recall on this vehicle coming soon. Everything i've read on it seems like everyone is having same issue. Also sometimes it will sputter like it wants to shut off once in a while while on the highway.
