which recall is it that they do and Lexus gives a $500 credit... or am I imagining that part?

VSC light came on and would not go off. So it will be interesting to see what caused it. Thank goodness I have 4 more months left on warranty.

I think the $500 is for is350 recall.

^^^ Yes. I think it's for the IS350 Valve Spring Recall where you leave you car with the dealer for a few days. That's to compensate the owner for the trouble.

^^^ It's definitely for the IS350. I already tried calling (I have a 250) and they told me it was only for the 350 valve spring issue.

did you retighten the gas cap? Also im sure they will try and tell you that you have carbon build up and try and hit you with a cleaning for a couple hundred dollars. let us know how you make out

UPDATE:

The Service Mgr called and said that the reason the VCS light came on was due to carbon build up. I did tell him that the car was shuddering... So they will de-carbonize and I hope it runs better.

What do I need to do to keep this from happening again?

^ YEP!

Just got my car de-carbonized. Being a little lead footed with the gas once in a while will help clear up all that carbon tho so you don't have the issue again

For the IS? Where'd you hear this?

I've always wondered how long is considered good? Will just a few seconds do?
