They did all that at once?! Don't you love the way the dealer just throws parts at it until it's fixed. I hope it was warranty. (If so, throw all the new parts on you wan't)

What ever they did fixed the issue..

i am tankful for that, and yes it was all waranty.b

wow u lucky it was all warranty work, i wonder how much everything would have cost out of your pocket

Unfortunately, I doubt all of those were bad. But I'm betting they replaced one thing and that didn't work, so on to the next and the next and the next.....

i bet that's what they did. it's rare (and doesn't make sense) for dealers to just replace everything at one shot

I ll be honest. . i didnt really care if they were going to give me another car.. i just wanted the probelm solved..

That's how dealers do warranty work-they don't fix things as much as just replace them. Honestly, I would rather them replace as many parts a possible under warranty, as long as they do it right.
I would rather them freshen all that stuff instead of say just replace a sensor or something.

Since it cost you nothing, wouldn't you rather have new cats, new throttle body, new mass air meter and new Intake meter(whatever that is) instead of say just the new intake meter. I would.

Ah but you forget - all that needless work adds to the price of the new Lexus cars/trucks. So one way or another, we all pay for it.

I am sure if this was your car you would state otherwise..

doug_999

I am confused by what you say.

IF, this had happened to me..
1. I would know that all of those parts did not need to be replaced
2. I would not care if my cats were new or old - I WOULD however be worried about some new rattle they created.
3. I would know that the costs were absorbed by Toyota and were needless

So to be totally honest, no, I would not state otherwise.

I had a Supra where they needlessly changed the heater core one time. The dash rattled like CRAZY after that. So no, I do NOT like needless work on my car - even if the parts are new.

The cats were changed under hte TSB.. smelled in the car. where ever else they did i just copied it off hte work order. All i know my problem has gone away, i didnt care what they had to do... i am interested in the result.
