My Lexus GS430 has a fuel rail leak that is leaking into the engine bay and has a strong smell of fuel into the cabin of the car. It is especially strong in the cabin when the heat or air conditioning is utilized. It is extremely dangerous and after researching I have found that it a problem with several of the Lexus lines of cars built around the 2006-2008 models.

Car wouldn-??t start. Had it diagnosed and found out my fuel pressure sensor had melted and was leaking fuel had it replaced bug still smell gas in and around car. Car was under recalm for same issue years back and was serviced at the dealership. So I don-??t see how im liable for repairs if it was a problem when the car came off the assembly line

I recently received an "important safety recall" notice from Lexus on a car that we had traded in on a new Lexus at the Lexus dealership in bossier city, Louisiana in 2012. I called the national number for Lexus to tell them that I no longer owned this car. They said that their records showed me to be the last owner of record, and said that their information came from the state of Louisiana. Upon receiving a second recall notice, I checked the Lexus owners' site at www.lexusdrivers.com, where we are shown as owning our 2013 Lexus, but no other. I called the local dealership and spoke with brandy kirkendahl, who handles registration paperwork. She told me that Louisiana's site showed the 2006 car as having been traded in, and that I was no longer the owner, but was the last owner of record. The 2006 Lexus had been sold to another dealer, and not registered again in Louisiana. - here's a systemic problem: Whomever now owns this car is not getting recall notices, unless they are having the vehicle serviced by Lexus. That's probably unlikely, since Lexus charges an arm and a leg for its services. This is an "urgent safety recall." It apparently involves the fuel pressure sensor sealing surface and gasket, and involves a risk of fire. This can't be the only vehicle without a known owner. I don't know whether this identification problem is unique to Lexus or not.
