Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The 2UR-GSE engine, like many high-performance engines, can consume more oil than expected, leading to frequent top-ups.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines like the 2UR-GSE can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, which can affect performance and fuel economy.

Valve spring recall

Certain model years, including the 2011 Lexus IS, may have issues with valve springs that could break and cause engine failure, leading to a recall.

Fuel injector problems

The high-pressure fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, causing misfires and rough idling.

Timing chain noise

Some owners report a rattling noise from the timing chain area, which may indicate the need for tensioner or guide replacement.

Coolant leaks

There have been reports of coolant leaks from the water pump, which can lead to overheating if not addressed promptly.

Throttle body issues

Throttle body problems can lead to poor throttle response or stalling, requiring cleaning or replacement.

Sensor failures

Various sensors, such as the mass air flow (MAF) sensor and oxygen sensors, can fail and lead to check engine lights and performance issues.
