Default MY 13GS stalled today

Ok the car stalled when accelerating,
The dealer said must be bad gas, let them know what happens. The dealer also said that the car got confused because it was plugged in and Bluetooth was trying to play.
Glad it's all fixed, A+ to westside lexus

The vehicle then by itself, downshifted, the vehicle then started shaking, traction control error message came up, vehicle check engine light started flashing, then the car wouldn't drive anymore. I opened my hood on my car, the engine was shaking. I pushed my sos button and before they called roadside and turned off the car, and back on, and everything is fine now. Yesterday I was gettting an error, bluetooth module not connected, please contact your dealer. Ill be taking it in after the holidays.

Anyone experinced this bull ***** with a brand new lexus with only 7600mi?

I also have the windnoise, the dealer has attempted to fix it, but they say there is no fix. What else can i do to get my service advisor to fix this issue?
Must be the racing blocker on your car. It prevents accidents.

You don't need to be racing on our streets where our families are driving to get to their destinations anyways.

That sounds like it went into limp mode. I've heard of this happening when o2 sensors or another type of sensor is malfunctioning. But seeing how you said the Bluetooth malfunctioned also it sounds like its a computer related issue.

Should be interesting to see what error messages the computer reads out when you take it in to the dealer.
Keep us updated....

Sounds like bad gas. I go to the same place all the time, and I've still had this happen to my Infiniti. Hopefully that's the issue with you.

As far as the wind noise, until Lexus implements the same aerodynamic window elements in the corners by the mirrors like the ES and LS have, the wind noise will be there IMHO. I complained enough that I got acoustic windows installed. I get my car back on Wednesday.

I don't know if Valero is a good choice for the vehicle. Even if it you did get gas from there up to this point, it takes time before the quality of gas effects the vehicle. You should switch to Chevron, 76, Mobil, or so, for the sake of the vehicle.

Really and truly, gas is all pretty much the same. If you watch stations get their fill ups, the trucking companies are not brand specific nowadays. They drop a barrel of additives in, but its a very small portion of the fuel.

I used to be a fuel brand snob, but since gas has gotten so expensive I use whatever as long as its a modern, clean station. Brands that are dominant depend on the area too, for instance herei would consider 76 to be off brand. In a lot of areas Valero is everywhere.
