There is a TSB on "intermittent extended crank/hard start" for 2008 GS350's. It is number L-SB-0009-08. The TSB was issued in Feb. 2008, but I just started having the problem a few weeks ago in cold weather. I have a 2008 GS350 awd. Just found out about the TSB from my trusted local mechanic, will now set up an app't with the dealer to fix it. The TSB says the Engine Control Module (ECM) needs to be flashed to correct the problem.

Hope this helps.

Have had my GS350 AWD for one month now, 600 miles, and never a hitch on starting. One press of the button, and there it goes. Maybe they got this sorted out really fast. Am taking it in this morning for the first service.
