This is not what I expected of these vehicle when I bought it. I know every vehicle has its flaws but IMO, this is unacceptable. This reminds me of the 1999-2003 Acura TL transmission problem. Same type of extended warranty. Once the warranty expires, you are on your own.

I'm probably going to have to sell my IS if we have a baby since it's really not practical as a family car so i don't envision it being an ongoing problem for me other than the occasional annoying reminder.
