Today My New 2015 GS350 F Sport Stalled Twice While Driving!!
This morning I started my day as usual, remote started the car via the app to warm her up. I had my ac/heat and heated seats on as usual, everything else was off. After I got into the car I started it up and as I shifted out of park it immediately stalled. I thought I had taken my foot off the brake too quick and restarted the car no problem. I pulled out of my driveway in reverse and as soon as I went to shift into drive the car stalled again. both times I maintained electricity but engine went dead. I restarted the vehicle and everything was fine for my 15 minute drive. The only message on the dash was to shift back into P OR N.
GM ignition recall debacle immediately popped into my head. My car only has 900 miles on it. Has anyone had this experience with their vehicle?

Thanks. I spoke to the service dept of my dealership and they told me to have Lexus flatbed the car in and they would give me a loaner. They mentioned they have some code issues with the GX model but nothing for the GS. I'm going to see if the issue happens again or if this was a fluke before I go through the hassle of everything.

I had a similar experience as well. I was at the stop light and the car almost stalled. Took it in today but the tech couldnt find any codes nor could not reproduce it. Guess we will see what happens.

Hasn't happened again since that day so as of now I'm writing it off as a fluke. Hopefully no more scares or headaches going forward. I've notice since that happened though, my car now starts up in eco mode without me manually setting it, I love it.

My GS once went into limp mode and showed a cylinder misfire in the stored codes. The dealer said it was likely bad gas. These cars are such divas.

Don't drive it on ECO unless you're on the highway. I tried the whole ECO thing and got crap gas mileage. Now I drive Sports+ all around city/short highway. If i'm cruising for hours on the highway then I put it in ECO.

On my IS, I never used ECO as I didn't see much of a difference and mileage in NORM was acceptable. In my GS, I use ECO a lot as I have seen improvements in all types of driving, and my mileage in NORM is quite low. YMMV
