Problems with 2007 Lexus LS 460 POWER TRAIN

Purchased a 2007 lexus ls460 on march 5th, got a prepurchase inspection and there are multiple things that have gone wrong. the latest repair needed is the fuel pressure sensor, costs approx $1525 at the dealer. i contacted lexus to see if this would be part of the recall and case manager amanda deantonio stated that based on the miles, age and my service history, loyalty to lexus, they can not assist me with getting this repair done. i am awaiting a supervisor to call me back regarding the repair that i believe should be covered under the "fuel pressure sensor" leak, elf campaign. on may 15, 2015, the gasket was replaced and the fuel pressure sensor sealing surface was repaired. i am now looking at a safety issue with this vehicle i purchased due the fuel pressure sensor shorting out my ecm, which has caused my car not to start. i am asking lexus to replace this part at no charge due to the faulty part. consequently, the fuel pressure sensor is installed where the plating material on the gasket seating surface is.

Submission from re 2007 lexus ls460, has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death *tgw the consumer stated his local dealer has tried unsuccessfully to correct an intermittent and unpredictable hesitation on acceleration and then a sudden lurching forward. recently, while driving 45 mph, as the consumer accelerated, the vehicle stalled for several seconds, the tachometer revved to 5000-6000 rpms as if the transmission was in neutral and then the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly lurched forward, as if the gears re-engaged to about 65 mph. the same thing occurred many times before, but at lower speeds. *jb

I have had a couple of unsafe situations with my car due to inadequate throttle response when trying to pass a car or merge into a freeway. the delay in accelerating, due to the transmission trying to find the appropriate gear to match the engine acceleration required. i was told by the service folks at the dealership that unfortunately the condition is inherent in the design (8-speed auto). mercedes benz had the same problem with their new 7-speed transmission until they fixed it. *tr
