| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driving at 25 mph i heard a beeping sound and the vsc off light on the dash came up along with the check engine light. i believe my vehicle then went into fail safe mode because the vehicle would no longer allow me to accelerate with gas pedal. however vehicle would move approximately 12(mph) on its own when i release constant pressure from the brake pedal. when i placed in neutral or park position, rpm's would rise to about 2000(rpm). turned off power to vehicle and restarted, still vehicle would only move 12(mph) on its own. again powered down vehicle and restarted then turned off the vsc before the car would scan for trouble and this action returned to me control over the vehicle. i noticed the gs300 and gs400 lexus was recalled april 16, 1998-nhtsa campaign id number 98v080000. my question is if the same vsc system is on the ls400, i believe it should receive equal treatment if perhaps this problem is related in some odd way to the yaw rate sensor.*ak |
