Lightbulb Major TRAC problem!!!!!!!

Today I got into a somewhat minor accident caused by the traction control on my IS300...

I was making a wide left turn from a light going under 30MPH. Suddenly I felt one of my breaks in the front lock up and the TRAC light was blinking, the back of my car started to give out counter clockwise. I tried to counter steer but it snapped and I found my self heading towards the curb and a phone pole. I once again tried to correct my self, but by this time I was already half way up the curb.

...A flat front tire, and bent rear axel. Surprisingly not a scratch under the car or on the body. It took it pretty well.

But it was still caused by the traction control system!!!!!

If anyone has any kind of a problem remotely close to this, please E-Mail me at VirtuSonic@aol.com

If Lexus doesn’t replace, not repair, replace my car I will sew.
Any problems that are related will help me very much. so please please, if anyone has had this type of a problem please E-Mail me...
