2008 LX570: This is my second time owning a Toyota/Lexus vehicle with the 3UR-FE/5.7L V8 and each has had the same issue. At 156,000 miles, noticed a nauseating smell of oil and coolant enter the cabin via the air vents. Noticed oily residue around front and sides of engine, no check engine lights…
The horn does not work at all. In motion or parked . On or off.
High intensity headlights are blinding my vision both from oncoming cars and from cars following me from behind in my side mirrors and rear view mirror. This is a serious hazard that we must look at from a preventive perspective! It is not just one day but many.
