It would have to be an ongoing issue to keep the car in safe mode, fortunately that also points to a faulty sensor. I can't believe some of the dealership mechanics nowadays, they understand how to pull a code, read a manual, but have completely loss the ability to trouble shoot, Sad really.

The master tech working on my car seems very knowledgeable. However, he seems hesitant to swap the sensor without Toyota's approval since it is a first model year. Today is day 3 that the data has supposedly been at Toyota for analysis, and still nothing. I'm getting anxious. I might stop in and have the tech swap knock sensor between the banks to confirm it IS the sensor.
