Default CS letter from Lexus: Engine misfire.
Must be a big enough issue that Lexus sends a letter out for Engine Misfire (intermittently runs rough). It says if the car is not doing it, to keep the letter in the Owner's manual. I have already had the carbon issue done once. I wonder if they will do it again.

So, I have had 2 TSBs done so far (carbon and tensioner). I can't say I am happy with all this. Used to be these cars were bullet proof.

Oh well!

I haven't received any letters!!
If I get any crap from my car, I will trade it in for a nissan.
I don't have the patience to deal with low quality junk.
So far, I am happy; except for a few rattles that are starting to annoy me.
