Default So the dealer just called me.....

Something is wrong with the "throttle" and will need to bring the car in for service as soon as the parts are available (about a week or so).

The thing that sucks is my business partners car comes in tomorrow, but won't be released until the problem is corrected. The manager said that he probably won't get his car until after Christmas. I got mine first week of november and we were promised his would be in the next week. Would it be wrong to ask for a discount for the wait???


Not all cars are effected, but they won't know which ones are unless checked out. The whole process takes about an hour. First TSB???

I must of missed your previous post or something. Can you please explain what problem you're having (throttle sticking, bad throttle response, etc)?

I haven't had any problems. Lexus has noticed this problem and has put out a TSB for it. They want me to come in and replace the part(s) so it doesn't became a problem.

Thanks for the clarification hashs99. Please let us know what the outcome is. I'm surprised the dealer didn't give you more information. If they called me with the same issue, I would have asked what exactly is wrong with the "throttle" and what do they have to replace.

I'd love some clarification on this issue.... I have yet to see any TSB info in the NHTSA website or any other site that I have access to. The only TSB is for installation of the tire pressure sensors so this one is one that I just haven't heard anything about... I'll try to call the local Lexus service department tomorrow and get some more info if no one has posted anything about it by then.

It appears to only be on the IS250 AWD, though still a heavy amount of skepticism at this point.
