How long have you had your IS? Have you noticed any problems?
I really think those without noticeable problems are jumping the ship here... let's just be patient everyone, honestly IF anything was wrong, could we be with a better or more reliable company?

ok i got my car back today, they told me NOTHING was wrong with the car and they think its a faulty code or software? i dont see why would the CEL pop out for no reason at all! Do u think that the dealership is shady enough to bypass or disconnect a sensor to read any damages? so that i wont come back? LoL
Not to mention they WASHED my car and it doesnt feel smooth, and i found like some kinda sticky black gunk dots and **** which i had to use my own clothing to wipe it off ! then my center console had a grease spot like some douche bag put a greasy *** burger on it while he was workin on it..
But im happy that the car is back in my garage where it belongs..

Typical dealer service. I'm hardly surprised.
As to the problem, all they did was reset the ECU to remove the codes (you could have done it yourself... just disconnect the battery). Make sure you get it documented at the least that the car was in due to a CEL and that they were unable to diagnose a problem.... NOT "there was no problem".

Well at least the car is working fine for you... but yeah, definitely document or get them to document that they were unable to isolate the actual problem.
Perhaps we could make this a sticky thread? Or just keep it alive so that those with similar problems are reminded to post their experiences?

OK I guess it's my turn, odo JUST turned 1000 miles....
Check engine and VSC lights came on today. The car stalled out AT LEAST 10 times!! Thank god I was in my driveway. It would start and idle for a second or 2 then die. It did this like 10 times then finally stayed running. Anyway the lights are still on. If I have time I'll bring it by the dealer tomorrow.
