Default Check VSC Lite on

Hey,

My check VSC lite has been coming on intermittently, my 07 IS350 only has 54k ( ) on it, isn;t that a bit premature to start having to get repairs like this, or have i just been too spoiled while it was<50k and needed nothing but routine maintenance??

I thought that was a drive train problem. Which should be covered 70k right??
My CHECK VSC light just came on this morning. Is it a serious enough problem to not drive the car?? Stealership isnt available until tuesday next week.

I had a similar issue before, check the gas cap. I know, sounds retarded but the dealer tightened the gas cap and reset the battery and the light went off and never came back.

Hmm.. I'll try that in a minute. But when you say "reset" the battery. He just disconnected it and connected it right back up?

^^^ Lower and raise each window individually. Repeat until you are able to regain control from your driver-side switches.
