  1. Well, Thank you all for the fast replies. I am not trying to be give a hard time with this fix nor am I trying to get something out of it. I was just simply asking a question. I dont understand why most of your replies are negative. as far as the job that was done. *labor description* customer states check engine light on... was just in with the same problem light stayed off for one day then came back on PO365 camshaft postion sensor b circuit. sensor has eratic readings replaced camshaft sensor b and engine light came back on. after completing an ociliscope pattern found readings to be very eratic. removed sensor and inspected pick up. found that the pick up on the cam has very large nick in wheel and wheel has been moved on the cam from broken spring and retainers bouncing around in the valve cover. cyl head w/o valves spring broken on #1 intake valve upon inspection found #1 cylinder intake spring broken and valve bent. also pick up on the cams nicked and moved r/p drivers head replaced with new head. replaced broken valve. lapped in all valves to new head, replaced spring and retaner. replaced both intake and exhaust cams. check engine light on p0420 catalyst efficiency below threshold bank 1 replaced bank 1 catalyst, caskets and bank 1 a/f sensor bank 1 a/f sensor seized in manifold and theads pulled out when trying to remove. *Items replaced* sensor. crank pos super long life c head sub-assy, cy gasket kit, engin camshaft sub-assy camshaft sub-assy valve, intake seat, valve sprin spring, compressi retainer, valve s cap, valve stem arm sub-assy, val gasket, water pum lock, valve sprin fipg oil pan manifold sub-assy gasket, exhaust m sensor, air fuel This is so far up to date. as for the pictures of the parts / areas they fixed I dont have. The car itself was not driveable when it stopped in the middle lane of the highway. I dont think i was fully explaining the situation. when I say the car came to a stop I didnt mean a it slowed down gradually to a stop. I mean I stopped... try going 60+ on a highway and slam on the brakes and see what happens. That is how I stopped. I didnt press the brakes or anything. So yea near death is correct I believe.
  2. Well, my name is TJ and I am new to the forum. I hope someone can help me. I purchased my 2008 LS460 about 2 months ago. I baby my car and take very very good care of it. I dont drive hard. One day I got a check engine light so I took it to the dealer which they claimed they fixed. then a week later the car starting shaking really bad on the highway and the check engine light came back on. Suddenly the engine cuts off on the middle of the highway. No warnings. Luckly, the car behind was far off so there was no accident. However, after getting my car into the dealer. The Diagnastic Specialist tells me "I have been doing this for a very long time... But I have never seen or heard of anything like this, We will contact Lexus and get this issue resolved". It took them 2 weeks to fix my car replacing parts here and there. I guess my question is this. I dont really feel safe driving in this car... and now I dont feel that this car is new, almost as if It had been in an accident. It just doesnt feel the same. Is there any steps I can take in going about getting my car changed? Can I file a case for the stress I been through and my near death experience? What should I do? should I go and pick the car up from the dealer? Thank you all for your advice in advance.
