Mike:
I am surprised.
Maybe you can talk them into pulling one out from an engine waiting on the assembly line in San Antonio and then "hotshot" it to DFW. It is sad but you can make lemonade from the lemon ES
, the mileage driven on the ES wouldn't accumulate into the lease allowables.

I already told the wife that 3 weeks of sitting might just get me back on track with the lease allowables.

Ya know, not for nuthin', but if this is a known (albeit not common) problem, you would think Lexus would keep a supply of parts here in the USA.

Maybe they've just had enough of them blow up that they've used up all the parts ... ?

Mike, for a loaner I think I would have chosen a 2010 RX with the "joystick" NAV -- just to see how it compares with our touchscreen system.
Oh, yes and a loaner with a black interior of couse! (teeheehee)

Update: Dealer called today (Fri.) and advised there is not a replacement valve spring anywhere in the united States. 
They are ordering one from Japan, and he said it might be 18 days before it arrives.
Guess I'll get real acquainted with the ES350 before this is all over with.

For some reason they don't want to tell you why the part is in short supply, sounds like the inventory is depleted and backlogged, an indication of more than a few isolated incidents maybe.
