Took car into Reno Toy/Scion yesterday with CEL on and SL. Told Service guy "Mark" about the rough idle and handed him the first 4 pages of this thread. He had never heard of this problem. Looked for Service bulletins, found none. I mentioned about latest news being a New ECU or a Flash of it.
They never got the car on the reader, and just drove me home.

Got a call from Mark at 1 pm today.
He said: "Talked to Toyota, they are sending a new ECU. No ETA on it's arrival date. Toyota wants us to not release the car back to you for "safety reasons" I will call you when I get more info."

I said thanks and hung up.

I called back just now to find out what CODES were dropped, but I just got his voice mail.
I will update here as soon as he calls me back.
Code was P0019, eta on new ECU was 4 to 5 days.

Called today, Fri, 21st. Was told NEW ETA on ECU was OCT 30 !!!
I nearly shit in my pants. I said this was not OK, and I wanted a loaner.
They immediately gave me a loaded Camry SE.
I asked about other compensation as my car will be in the shop for 42 days by Oct. 30.
They gave me SOA's number and told me to call them. I spoke with a first level person who took down my car details and told me a Second level person would call me on Monday to go into further detail.

My question to you guys is: "what would be/is Fair Compensation for my trouble? I drove the car for 11 days and now it's going to be gone for 42.
