Thats shocking. Always thought the LS range was rock solid, but Ive had alot of electrical problems with my LS430. It does surprise me that Lexus have taken such a strong view and seem to be missing the point that the part is faulty and the fix does not do what its surposed to.
It seems amazing that they are risking losing all that reputation over such a minor issue, bet the bits cost them nothing. Ive looked at the Toyota stuff you posted and it looks basic mechanical parts that should be a few pounds not thousands, if the parts has been reworked then Lexus will be passing the pain back onto its supplier as I bet they dont make these themselves,if they do then its just poor quality and shows they are no better then Fiat
Its interesting that lexus is unaware of any other issues than yours but the dealers say it happens alot, Ive heard that the RX is the same from my local dealer.
Shame on Lexus.
