Did it stay on permanently? How many miles do you have on your 350? Good luck, and yes, please keep us posted!

But they didnt tell me gas was mixed with my oil they just said it was misfiring but the car ran fine.
What scares me is that i only have 200 miles! They gave me a beat up rusted ES330 as a loaner LoL

Oh man... I'm seriously not getting a good feeling about this. That's like 4 or 5 people with the same behavoir on brand new cars. And it's not like this list is even a large sample of new IS buyers. This sounds, dare I say it, widespread.

I may have to rethink my order....

I'm hardly panicking. And life is nice at present, because I have a car that in 3 years of ownership has not once been to the dealer.

For me, a daily driver must above all else be reliable. If there's a widespread problem with the new IS, I sure as hell don't want to deal with it and would prefer to take my chances elsewhere.
