DBS systems can sometimes fail to correctly identify an imminent collision or apply insufficient braking force, reducing the effectiveness of this safety feature.

Misfires in a V-shaped 6-cylinder engine like the 8GR-FXS, 2NM can occur due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

V-shaped engines are prone to oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or rear main seals.

Some Lexus LS models have been reported to consume more oil than usual, potentially due to issues with piston rings or valve seals.

Problems with the timing chain, such as stretching or wearing out, can lead to poor engine performance and potential engine damage.

Direct and port injection systems can suffer from clogged fuel injectors, which can affect engine performance and efficiency.

If the engine is turbocharged, issues with the turbocharger such as bearing failure or oil leaks can occur.

Various engine sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, MAF sensors) can fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.

Problems with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can lead to engine overheating, which can cause severe engine damage if not addressed.

Issues with the EGR valve can lead to poor engine performance and increased emissions.

Over time, engine mounts can deteriorate, leading to excessive engine vibration and noise.

Issues with the DBS system can result in the vehicle not properly assisting with braking during an emergency, potentially increasing stopping distances.

The V-shaped engine configuration with 6 cylinders can sometimes experience misfires due to issues with the ignition system, fuel delivery, or engine control unit (ECU).

The 8GR-FXS engine model may have higher oil consumption, which can lead to decreased engine performance and potential damage if not monitored and addressed.

The PORT+ DIRECT fuel injection system can sometimes experience clogging or failure, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

The engine may experience timing chain stretch or failure, which can cause rough running, engine noise, and potential severe engine damage.

The complex V-shaped configuration can put additional stress on the cooling system, leading to potential overheating issues if not properly maintained.

The 2018 LEXUS LS model can sometimes experience issues with the transmission, such as rough shifting or slipping, which can affect overall drivability.

If the vehicle is equipped with a hybrid system, there can be issues with the battery pack, inverters, or electric motors, affecting overall performance and efficiency.
