newbe here in this forum, please help, I have problem with my 2007 Lexus IS250 when in reverse I fell no power even when I press the gas in full throttle in uphill. I Have a VSC light coming on and traction control light. I have a problem with my trans. but it seems new to me. because there no power in reverse mode only. I work in san Francisco and it take me a while when I'm doing a parallel parking,

 

Try to turn off traction control when you're reversing only to see if that helps. Maybe there is something wrong with the car, but I don't live in those uphill places, so I don't know if that's normal or not.

 

Forgot to mention tractions already lighted. Assuming traction is off. Thank you in advance. I have an appointment in this Thursday on lexus I'll give you the info. Guys to see what's going on.

 

Hopefully it's not slipping which means new tranny. Yeah let's us know what you find out from the stealership

 

Do you only have this problem on steep hills or on flat surfaces as well? If all of the time, then you've got a slipping trans. Time for a good, used replacement trans.

 

Now I've got the same problem lol
No power at all in reversing and there's no chance in hell it would reverse on a hill.
Would that mean a complete auto-transmission switch?
