Description of the problem	My lexus isf has a cracked passenger side manifold which is very audible on startup and beginning signs of a valley plate coolant leak, which will eventuallylead to engine failure. These cars were made in very low numbers, however our car enthusiast community is experiencing these failures in a higher than acceptable numbers of this rare vehicle. Each repair is many thousands of dollars and (valley plate 2k-5k) (manifold quoted at 22 hours labor and 1400 for the part from lexus) taken into account the low production number and high rate of failure, this must be addressed. Lexus has failed to work with me sharing the bill.
