Default CHECK VSC, engine, trac light on....CAR WONT START!!!! ;(

Im typing this on my cell phone as the two hour wait for my loaner and the tow truvk driver draws near.

i was driving in this bumpy road in dallas when all of a sudden my car dies.

i was able to roll into a empty lot and try to retsart it, but it didnt.

i disconnected the battery and it started but died after idling up to 3.5 rpm

any thoughts? has this happened to you? these are the symptoms of what??

ill propbably know tomar after sewell of dallad calls me, hopefully its nothing major and i can get back to houston on friday.

Default Good News

just recieved the call and it was good news.

sewell of dallas said that during the replacement of my fuel lines they somehow left a ring that was improperly set in the throttle body.
they said they would cover it under warranty.

hopefully you dont experience this but, im so glad lexus of sewell were so good to me. they picked up my car and brought me a loaner knowing im an out of towner and were very helpful. big ups sewell.

still typing on my cell phone during this conference so excuse the typos.

Good dealer support, sloppy work by service on recall.
