Default Has time happened to you guys before???

Hello CL members, I recently have just gotten a new 2009 IS 250 MT, I got the car tuesday night with 399 milage on it was working fine when i took it out for the first time, but today when i drove home from school a white puff of smoke came out, and my car stalled out on my driveway. Has this happened to any of you guys? Should I be worried?

399 miles on an 09' manual from the dealer..hmm. i would take it to the dealer and tell them exactly what happened. if it hasn't happened since i would just keep driving around and do your day-to-day thing and just let them know at your 1000 mile maintenance.

That's a lot of miles for a new car, I'm even more surprised since it's a manual...not many people test drive those.

Of the many things I play around with, white smoke isnt one of them. +1 for back to the dealer. How did your fluid levels look right after this happened? Im assuming you checked before you attempted to drive again...

Since it's a new car just take it back to the dealership, have them deal with it. It should still be under warranty.
