Default VSC lights coming on

Yesterday My VSC lights on the dash came on. Lexus said the gas cap being loose could have caused this. Has anyone else had this problem?

I wouldn't worry about that condition- it should go away w/ the gas cap tightened! I was charged $45 from the dealer for not having the cap screwed on tight and the pressure not increasing- I should charge the gas attendant!

I thought a lose gas cap would make the 'check engine light' come on, not the VSC light. Isn't VSC just for traction issues?

Just got back and they reset the computer. they said it showed the gas cap being loose and not creating a vacum.

So I guess everyone needs to make sure their gas cap "clicks"
