ok as a technician for lexus i can say two things about your experience...
1.) that WAS a one in a million shot cause that has never been scene at the dealer i work at ..and toyota/lexus has kind of a saying for things like that " if it's wrong on 4 cars in one month it will be wrong on every other one." or something like that...point is that i have NEVER even heard of this happening...but if anyone has heard of this happening...or has had it happen please tell me so i can identify this problem and bring it to the attention of my supiors as something to spread the word about...
2.) you should go back to your dealer and rip that service manager a new one!....that's a bunch of bullhonkey that they charged you 190 bucks when they were wrong...just make sure you bring a reciept from the other place to prove you had the work done...you could probably get a free service out of them as they tend to cave really quick to agressive people.
hey thanks for the insight i hope that i can save someone some trouble with it.
I have the same exact problem ie:. Odometer is out, speedometer is out, obviously cruise control and my transmission shifts high in first gear just just like described above. Also check engine light is on. The thing with my situation is that I also got a speedsensor code and it was replaced butnit didn't correct the problem. I've been told to get a cluster but I've researched this extensively and I think it's an ecm problem but no one definitively has diagnosed. The speedometer and odometer only acted funny when taking long trips and engine was warm. Was intermittent at first and since has been like this for a year
