Intermittant Electrical Problems

Whee! Intermittant electrical problems - the great joy of the
electricized and datacized car. This is especialy true for the Lexus
brand owners as Lexus does not cover some of these problems with its
new car warranty. One problem is that sometimes - and no, I can't nail
"when" down - the right front bumper sensor goes off. Real irritating.
And then after a couple of days it stops and runs properly. This is
the famous detector that was doing this and Lexus said that it would
not be covered by warranty. However, after taking it out of the shop,
it ran properly. So it has reappeared a few times, for a couple of
days each time. And now I have the automatic wiper taking a swipe or
two at the windshield and then stopping. This wiper problem has
surfaced after driving the car over roads that have been coated with
salt brine, but none is visible on the windshield. Of course the
wipers don't clean the cheapo glass right anyway, but the sensor area
seems to be clear. Gosh, this sure is a lovely experience owing this
car! The banging jerking tranny and the grinding, jerking brakes do
provide some distraction from the electrical misbehaviour, though. The
car is a 2006 430 LS ultra. Any ideas on the electrical problems? This
car did have to have its $7000 radar unit replaced so the cruise
control would work.

Here is the real question: My current Lexus is my fifth, and I've been
in and out of this newsgroup for at least 7 or 8 years, and it seems
like you've been here since way back then. Every post you've ever made
here is whining and complaining about the cost, service, quality and
reliability of these cars. So how is it that you own an '06 Lexus,
when you knew so long before that what horrible cars they are?
