Yep, the free gas was cool. I really wasn't gonna do it but went in for new battery and alignment and they talked me into doing the recall fix. Now that I know it comes with a free tank of gas I'll wait until the tank is near empty on the other GS and take it in.

Does this affect all 06 GS300's? or only specific ones, lady at desk said mine was not on the recalled list?

Had both the brake recall and fuel pressure sensor done last Thursday. I was stupid and forgot, filled my car up on the way to the dealer so the car tank didn't get filled by the dealer. So I pulled a Homer Simpson and filled up on cappacino and danish, then got a 2011 RX350 loaner went shopping, then came back and filled up on roast beef wraps, salad and chocolate chip cookies. I called it an even trade.

If you havent already, you can register your car on the lexus owner's site

https://secure.drivers.lexus.com/lex...-lexus/home.do

You enter/register your VIN and it lists out any recall(s) that's applicable to your car.

got my car back after getting this recall serviced over the weekend. on my way home from work i came to full stop at a traffic light. the engine shut off. boo hoo. i put the gear into park and started the engine again and it came on. i left it in park and stepped on the accelerator lightly until the light turned green.

on the way to the dealer i saw the check engine light blink..... i'm hoping it's related to the recall - that they did it wrong or something.

i did notice, however, a minor improvement in mpg... just hope they can figure out exactly what's wrong and fix it.

Got the brake one done long ago... I still haven't received any letter about the sensor inspection. At this point, I'm worried that I'm going to be asked to bring it in for both the sensor inspection and pedal entrapment ones at the same time making me lose out on some of that texas tea.

so i dropped my car off for this a couple days ago and i just recieved a call that while they were working on it, it threw a cel and running rough. keep in mind the car was just there about 2 months ago to get the rack and pinion replaced and it did the same thing so they did a top engine clean and replaced the ecu. weird how its happening again and they have to do another top engine clean
