Fitment on this 2011 Lexus CT 200h service and repair manual is exact: it is written to the 1.8L four-cylinder hybrid (2ZR-FXE) and the trim Lexus sold that year, so the clearances, torque values and service steps you follow are the ones Lexus published for this car and not figures borrowed from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2011 CT 200h. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It applies to certain 2011-2012 CT 200h vehicles and covers the side and window curtain shield air bags: either portion of the curtain shield air bag inflator can eject into the passenger cabin. Owners have filed 24 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are on record. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
From a supplemental restraint system inspection to hybrid powertrain diagnosis or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2011 CT 200h.
. ON THURSDAY, 11/7/13, I GOT INTO MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND THE DASHBOARD GAUGE INDICATED THAT AIR PRESSURE IN ONE OF MY TIRES WAS LOW. I LOOKED BUT THEY APPEARED TO BE OK.

Hello, I am writing to bring attention to a vital public safety issue regarding the Lexus recall policy eligibility of 21LE01, concerning brake system issues. The current policy deems vehicles eligible for recall based on a set criterion: the vehicle must be under 10 years of age or under 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. The term “whichever comes first” disregards the importance of “mileage” as the main indicator of wear and tear, especially for brake system issues which are largely and d
CAR SHAKES VIBRANTLY AND MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN STARTING. DOES IT AT TIMES WHEN COMING TO A STOP ALSO. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. HAVE HAD EXHAUST MANIFOLD CHANGED AND TUNE UP BECAUSE SCANNER SHOW A MISFIRE ON A SPARK PLUG BUT NONE OF THOSE SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE COMING SOON. EVERYTHING I'VE READ ON IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IS HAVING SAME ISSUE. ALSO SOMETIMES IT WILL SPUTTER LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF ONCE IN A WHILE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.
WHILE DRIVING ON A ASPHALT ROAD I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AND APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKE AND NEARLY CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS A SIMILAR ISSUE WHEN I HIT A POT HOLE AND THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING. IT CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD EVEN AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LEXUS AND THE BRAKES WERE OPERABLE. THIS MAYBE RELATED TO THE TOYOTA BRAKE ISSUES. *TR

I HAVE TO ADD 4-5 QUARTS IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. MY ENGINE CONSUMES SO MUCH OIL AND I BELIEVE IT'S CONSTANTLY BURNING. ALSO WHEN I BREAK IT MAKES A LOUD ELECTRIC BRAKING NOISE. IT'S THE HYBRID BREAKING SYSTEM AND IT'S REALLY LOUD.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 LEXUS CT200H ON THE NJ TURNPIKE JUST OUTSIDE NYC. IT WAS A CLEAR DAY. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 85. SUDDENLY, I HEARD A LOUD "POP"--LIKE AN EXPLOSION. I HAD JUST PASSED A TRACTOR-TRAILER AND THOUGHT IT HAD BLOWN A TIRE. THEN I STARTED TO HEAR WIND NOISE IN MY CAR. I PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT REST STOP AND DISCOVERED THAT MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THERE WAS A PIECE OF GLASS MISSING ABOUT THE SIZE OF TWO SOFTBALLS AND THE REMAINING GLASS WAS ALL SHATTERED. THE EDGES OF THE REMA
