The dealer has had my CPO 2007 ES350 due to VSC/CKENG/STABILITY lights went on. Not gas cap but miss firing due to cracked valve springs. Anyone else had this issue? This was a GS/LS recall with 3.5v6.

Just got car back when they took off cylinder head valve was bent and needed to be replaced.. They replaced valve and guide in cylinder head.

How many miles on your 07 ES?
Did the dealer say which cylinder had the bent valve (intake or exh)?

Very interesting as I had been familiar with broken valve springs on some of my older vehicles . I would guess due to the variable timing that a broken valve spring could let the valve stay open and possible hit the piston causing the bent valve. Is that what the dealer told you? Also why would only one break and did they replace all of the valve springs on that head.

Looks like cracked valve springs were an issue for certain year, models of Lexus and Lexus did a recall. I did not see the ES 350 in the recall list.
