Known Issues for This Vehicle

Oil leaks

The 2GR-FKS engine in the 2016 Lexus GS can develop oil leaks over time, often from the valve cover gaskets or the oil cooler pipe. This can lead to oil loss and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Carbon build-up

The combination of port and direct fuel injection can lead to carbon build-up on the intake valves over time. This can cause rough idling, reduced performance, and poor fuel economy.

Water pump failure

The water pump on this engine is known to fail prematurely, which can lead to overheating if not replaced in a timely manner.

Timing chain tensioner issues

Some owners report noise from the timing chain area, which could be due to a failing tensioner. This can lead to improper timing and potential engine damage if not corrected.

Fuel injector problems

Direct injection systems can sometimes cause fuel injector issues, such as clogging or failure, leading to misfires or poor engine performance.
