Default Check VSC Light

So I was parking at my job today, and noticed that the VSC light was on, along with the check engine light. I didn't think much of it, so I turned the car off, then back on. Lights were still on, then the I saw the Message "Check VSC" along with the bright red hazard symbol. I'm a little pissed, cause I barely have any miles on the car, and I don't have anytime to bring it up to the dealer.

Has anybody else experienced this problem. How "serious" is it?

Thanks

- Steven

P.S. My car is an 08 IS250 AWD

"Check Engine" is normally an emmisions related issue. VSC is vehicle stability control system. I have read that VSC is disabled anytime a "Check Engine" fault is sensed. So the "check engine" is the root issue. You need to take it in to the dealer.
