Thanks diagtime. That was actually a very clear explanation of this problem. Well I currently do have AWD and I don't fee lthat much vibration. I have an 08 IS 250 AWD and I feel as it's okay but just some misfires while ideling lately that seems to have started within last month. I am bringing the car in for other reasons so I was thinking why not just mention it so they have in on record. But since I have 9 years, I believe I would be safe.

And about customer satisfaction.......Lexus knows that when you get the CSP done they will probably be taking a loss on the sale of your vehicle. It's very very expensive. And they're doing it anyways.

They don't have a powertrain warranty that good to begin with. And something about powertrain warranty that most people don't realize.........what's covered. You'll see some cheaper car brands with really long powertrain warranties. The thing is, those warranties may only cover internal metal trans and engine parts. No water pumps, fuel pumps, fuel injectors, wheel bearings, etc. Lexus powertrain warranty is really really good.

This only covers any carbon-build up related issues for 9yrs/unlimited miles. Nothing else (transmission, other unrelated engine parts, etc) is going to be covered.

Yes, true. If you have a non carbon/oil consumption related powertrain issue, bring your vehicle in before warranty expires.

so i posted this question in tsb thread but no one seems to be answering.. 
i went to the dealership the other day and told them about the rough engine idle and they said they couldnt do anything unless there was an error code was stored in the system.. then someone said that theres a way to try and get this error code to come up? its annoying because i know theres a problem and they wont do anything to solve it until they see it for themselves.

^^^ happens to me once in while...that's a good way to reproduce the symptom. Also, you want to turn the fan/AC on too.
I couldn't get any Error Codes or CEL on my, so the dealer pretty much won't touch it.
Still waiting if to see if I'll get that letter from Lexus. Do we have to bring it in to dealer first for the carbon build-up in order to get that letter?

I just tried to get this done at a local lexus dealer if their are no misfire codes they will not do the job period. And even if it shows bad signs of this and it doesn't have the trouble codes they are looking for they will not to the job just FYI. My service advisor is currently dealing with problem like this and some are getting fixed and some just cannot cuz of no misfire codes.

I still have an email of the codes they sent me; not sure if that's enough proof to the dealer though. When I asked the body shop what could be the cause of the misfire from just starting up, they said that whoever was bringing my car out from the back accidentally hit the START/STOP button twice too many times; I guess the person didn't know you just pushed the button once to start it up? Somehow it caused a misfire. Maybe that's another way to pull up the misfire codes?
