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...

On IS300.net there was a guy that claimed the same thing, it turned out to be b**lsh*t. He was a flamer is disguise.
To have your rear end come out from behind you would mean that you DIDN'T have the traction control on, or at least that it wasn't working.

Hmm.
I think traction control only affects the REAR brakes, not the front.
And you might have better luck if you sue, rather than sew. Lexus probably has all the seamstresses they need. <g>
