I haven't really posted since acquiring the new IS-F but I've been having a random hiccup on the IS-F the last couple of days. On the dash at random, usually stays on while I'm driving, it says Check VSC with an exclamation on the display as well as the Trac Off light and Check Engine light are all on at the same time. I drove with it one day, left the car in the garage overnight, then it seemed to dissapear in the morning. After all day of driving the next day it appeared at night again. I will make an appointment to get the car in to Lexus to have it checked out, but I was wondering if anyone else had this problem?

Delaying my breaking in further more

 

Ahh the electrical issues of a 1st yr model car.

 

gas cap on tight enough? Oddly enough, something as minor as a gas cap ends up doing a lot of stuff. I had that happen on my IS350 and eventually, there was some TSB for some fuel pipe or something. I don't understand why a loose gas cap would turn off traction control and all sorts of stuff.

 

already checked

 

sounds like a problem with your traction control...

 

Had some issues like that on Infiniti's -- turned out to be low brake fluid.
Won't hurt to check it.

Turns out under the hood there were alot of leaves, even went in the intake. For those of you buying new 08 models, becareful as they have been lying around for awhile!

 

Wow thats surprising !!!

So basically a clogged / dirty engine air filter was the issue ..!!??

Did they replace the filter or just clean all the leaves out of the airbox..... ?
