Lexus dealers like you mentioned are rare. But still unacceptable. Unfortunate. Time to call the Leuxs 800 number. Is up to us to be heard. Toyota is all ears.

Agreed. This car was a CPO from a former lease and was serviced by Lexus at the dealership from whom I purchased the vehicle. So, they have all the records and I've had all the work done at their dealership, too. I have stayed with one service rep and I have been VERY patient with him even when there service guys have dropped the ball. A lot of the problem is that the technicians don't treat the car with respect and the service reps aren't checking the vehicle before I pick it up. Many times I go to pick up my vehicle and I don't even see my rep as he's on break or with another customer or on the phone, etc. As a matter of fact, I don't think he's ever been there when I've actually picked up the car. They usually just pull it out for me, hand me the keys, and send me on my way without any contact from my actual rep. Is this odd or the norm at most dealers?

I have had a problem with the ignition core. At random times my key will just not turn or move the ignition core and has nearly left me stranded in parking lots. After it happened about 5 times(my husband was witness to the last time and told me this was unacceptable) I finally brought it to the dealership. They replaced the ignition core and sent me on my way. It happened again with the new core and we tried both keys. My husband tried his key and had to try it several times before the ignition core would budge.
I heard the same story at least twice.
Once my wife told me, that she stuck with ignition core too. And once it was my friend (with his own rx330)
The problem was not in the ignition core, but in the fact, that neither she nor he heard about the steering wheel immobilizer, which is built in the ignition core. So the problem was solved and the core never stucked again.
Maybe you just can't workout the immobilizer?
Anyway, the first thing to do is to change your dealer...

I'm able to get the ignition switch to release when locked by rocking the car forward and back. Does doing this help anyone else with the ignition locking problem? I've described it here:

Sorry to hear this. My two cents:
