Warbird, for whats it's worth I believe you ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I know Lexus products are not perfect. I guess it's tough for past Lexus owners to grasp these cars have so many basic problems. Past Lexus's have been known for the best quality control in the industry.
I'll bet something happened to your car during transit from Japan to the dealer in the US that caused it to fail. My brother in-law is a captain of a Ro Ro ship that transport the cars from Japan to Port Newark NJ. They all come from the Toyota plant. He has told me stories to what happens to some of the 500 or so cars they pack on the ship for transit. Mine was delivered with 21 miles on it and I had it spacial ordered, it was not driven. I was told that is the normal mileage after testing and transit. Not sure if I believe the dealer but we just bought a new 350 for my mother in-law and it had the same mileage as mine did.

Not sure why you would feel the need to join a forum and chastise people for how they responded to somebody 12 years ago. Most of the people involved don't even post here anymore...
