Exclamation Limping in

Took my IS-250 into Lexus dealership for scheduled 100,000 mile check up. All reported well. Left dealership and for the next few days experienced intermittent (need oil change maintenance soon) light. Then yesterday, oil light came on, engine made weird noise and acceleration would not go past 60mph. (limp mode symptoms)

Can anyone tell me what this could be? Dealership coming to get vehicle. My husband checked oil level and all fine. During 100,000 mile check up there was a flush of a 'lifetime fluid product' for transmission or coolant? Doesn't list on maintenance.

I am concerned because every time I bring my car into this Lexus dealership, something always goes wrong. Beginning to think it's sabotage for more money. I just gave the dealership $300 just for the check-up that came with oil change.

Help! Don't want to be caught off-guard with an unnecessary expense.

Oh yeah there's a way to reset the maintenance light. Try this and it'll probably fix your problem for free
But if the light comes back on take it to the dealership
