Pole Position
Just out of curiosity I searched her posts. If you ever wondered why the LS460s are falling from the sky it's because some people cannot see the tree in the forest.
This thread was started by a member who has a problem we never seen before which is most likely related to a traction control issue but now because of our oil discussions it was spread on the other section of the forum like its a widespread issue and there is an epidemic of owners who are coming close to being getting rear ended.
This is not the first time this kind of misinformation is getting spread by someone skimming posts and then sensationalizing our issues.

I'm from the 400 forum and I think Devh had the most appropriate response. SW your response was mostly appropriate too also some of the comments does nothing but fan the flames for a newbie poster. I checked this forum because the poster mentioned it in the 400 section but mostly I'm bored sitting here waiting for the maintenance man to come fix something in the house. I see nothing in the responses to warrant the comments by the poster so I'll go back to browsing the forum to see if I can help anyone while I'm killing time. good day to all.

My VSC idiot light stays on, what part needs to be replaced in order to fix the problem.? I am assuming that my lack of power is due to that light giving me a warning. It's weird, normally during normal Florida driving right turns are most prominent, but sometimes it will almost stop running when stopping at a red light.

Intermittent hesitation on acceleration
I think I am the one who started this thread several years ago with my 2011 LS 460 AWD. To update, it still occurs on occasions after owning this car for five years. Every time I took it to my Lexus dealer I attached a letter explaining the problem. They could never replicate it and could not solve it. They once kept it for a couple days and a service manager drove it back and forth to work. However his trip was 20 miles each way ion a expressway. So, I drive more carefully and always anticipate it may cut out when entering fast moving traffic. I probably will not by another Lexus. Maybe an Audi or the new Genesis 90.

Hesitation
I should add that I’ve tried driving for days with various anti skid functions turned off. Turned off modes like Eco. Tried driving in sport mode, Tried ultra premium gas, tried premium gas with no lead. Nothing seemed to help except I’ve never found a way to consistently replicate the problem

I did and it fixed my sluggishness after oil changes. But the sluggishness after turning remains but can be so intermittent. I have tried slow starts and fast ones makes no difference. Guess i will never know.

L-SB-0033-08 "Hesitation on Acceleration" [2008-06-06, revised 2008-12-23 & 2012-07-18]
has been OBSOLETED & SUPERSEDED by
L-SB-0122-17 "Hesitation on Acceleration and-or P2119" [2017-05-03].
I did not discover this fact either in this forum or at the NHTSA website. Rather, when I presented L-SB-0033-08 to my dealership, they eventually provided in return a copy of the superseding L-SB-0122-17.
The major differences between the two SBs, as I read them, are:
* In the 2008 SB, the repair procedure calls for first performing the ECM flash … then conditionally (ie, if the hesitation is not resolved) performing the cylinder head replacements. The SB does not specify a cause.
* In the 2017 SB, the repair procedure calls for first performing the ECM flash (at steps 2 & 3) … and then, unconditionally, performing the cylinder head replacements (at step 4). The SB specifies the cause as "inappropriate spark knock or detonation detection."
This 'inappropriate detection' phenomenon is described with further clarity & detail at https://bit.ly/3ClAjBf .
