For tint and paint correction, or other things that can't just be slapped on the new car, you take it on the chin. It isn't actually a replacement in the full sense of the word.

Everything you're saying is true and unfortunately you are correct. Even with that being said there's a trend starting to emerge.
1) There are several cars on this thread which nothing can fix (ECU change, cam gears and related parts)
2) These same cars are having the problem in the same place. Remember that the codes are location based so a P0019 means the exhaust drivers side cam isn't in the position the ECU want's it to be. The problem doesn't wander to a new cam gear.
So when the problem repeats, you're wasting time replacing parts and ECUs. the problem is either in the camshaft itself or it's in the motor.
If you have all of that work you mentioned you can ask for a new motor and keep the car and all of it's accessories, paint protection, and what ever else you paid out of pocket for.
