Default vsc

thank goodness, I already thought it meant Vehicle Speed Control which could point to the dreaded unintentionally acceleration running all my savings into the garagewall
appearantly there was some occurance with the LS - yes - no?

"Unintended acceleration" was largely a Toyota phenomenon.

"largely" a Toyota problem
so, did the LS have this problem too?
Where there any recalls on the 2002 430?

I apologize for all these questions. After driving bimmers for over 50 years many abreviations and expressions in the CL forum are new to me. Never had a Lexus, never drove one or even sat in one (this will change)

unintended acceleration....i guess it was a Toyota phenomenon, with no basis in reality. A classic case of govt extorting a big corporation, with the trial lawyers joining in
