Well picked my car up. When they ran the diagnostics, they came back with fuel to rich. They changed my oil because it was contaminated with raw fuel. Didn't have an answer for me, just said this has been reported with a couple IS's and GS's. Lexus is working on a field fix. For now he said just to let them know if the light comes back on. That is quite annoying to me, spend all this money on a car and didn't get the problem fixed really and the car only has 1000 miles on it and there is a chance that the problem will reoccur and I will be inconvenienced with bringing it back in. Also, while it was there, they did the recall fix on the gas pedal, no mention of an IPOD 
Oh yeah, it seems to me that the easily scratchable center console ( wood ), has more minor scracthes on it as though they dragged something accross it or wiped it with a ****ty towel. I told them NOT to wash it but I guess they vacumed the inside it. I can't be sure that the scratches were not there before, but I don't think they were I am not very happy
Oh yeah, thought I would mention, he also mentioned that they have seeing some problems with the seat belt and that lexus was working on a fix for that too.

From what I've seen posted else were on the intertubes this seems to be fairly common. It's been 10,000 miles since I got the VSC warning and my IS is running better than ever. Hope I don't jinx myself saying this. And to think the first dealer was ready to replace a perfectly good transmission based on a few codes an no real mechanical diagnostic work. But if everything is running well with your ride I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sorry I have nothing else to offer you based on my experience since nothing ever really came of the situation.

I had this come on all of a sudden before (twice). All I did was turn the car off. Hold down the trac control button for a couple of secs, let go and then turn on the car. All the lights went away. I don't know if that's truly how you fix it but it went away and haven't come on since.
