Check engine light came on. Took to dealer for evaluation (and it was also time for regular maintenance). Mass Air Flow Sensor was not functioning and was replaced. Dealer did give me option to take it elsewhere but I have had good service with fair rates from my preferred Lexus service departments. |

Head gasket. Update: taking it to the shop end of May. Head gasket failure at Cylinder #1 (coolant leaked into cylinder). Gasket appears to be made of layered silicon and metal, and silicon portion failed over time. While head out being machined, many other systems updated/replaced, including electric water pump, timing chain, ECM updates (3), and rear oil-filled shocks that were failing. |

Piston #1 connecting rod broke, crippling engine. Entire short block assembly, previous head repair added to new block. Essentially rebuilt entire engine for a price equivalent to the value of the car. Although obvious in hindsight, at time of head gasket repair there was no indication of scoring or other sign of piston #1 excessive stress/strain. |
