Take it to the dealer. It could be anything with the engine, transmission or electrical.

Yes.

I was changing lanes on freeway and heard a noise, then the warning came up. Took it to dealer and warning never came on while tech and me test drove. He checked for codes and Lexus opened a ticket. I don't know what code was but he was told to update software. They have an open ticket, but car seems to run great again. Don't know what it could be though...

am i the only one who noticed OP was driving 50mph when he took this pic. Next time pull over to the side first when you notice an issue with the car.

Hope all is well with the whip. Only 3k miles on the dash and pretty scary message to have at that low of a mileage car

Yeah, I would of pulled over but car was still running fine with no noises. Plus it's a 2 year lease with warranty. (I lease new every couple of years. So I don't really worry too much)

I think he is saying it's not safe for you to be trying to take photos while driving.

Anyway, good luck, hopefully it's something fixable under warranty. Sounds like you weren't doing anything wrong.

I was called back yesterday from dealership. Lexus told them that the code that came up and caused reduced engine power warning was due to bad gasoline. IDK if I believe that, but either way it runs fine and is obviously still under warranty. I just won't buy 76 gas anymore...

Octane 91 or higher is recommended. Anything lower will reduce performance.
