2006 Lexus IS 250 Vehicle speed control Problems

“The check engine, check vsc light would intermittently come on when I turned on my car and sometimes while driving. This has happened since I purchased my car in 2006. I brought my car in for the recall but they couldn't make the light come on when they hooked up their computers to the computers in my car. I recently brought my car to another dealership to perform the recall of the dashboard and side panels and the problem finally happened while they had the car in their possession. They tested it and said this problem would have been covered by a recall had it not expired. …”

“Lexus fast acceleration in my car. It has happened 4 or 5 times in my 2006 Lexus IS 250, which I bought new. At first, I thought it was my fault since I usually wear wide athletic shoes. I thought that I was touching both the brake and accelerator and mentioned it to my sister, who works for a Lexus dealer. She told me that they were coming out with a letter about the floor mats causing the problem. I took the driver's side floor mat out of my car. I checked the clearance and it was about 2 inches. …”

“In light of the recently announced safety recall for this vehicle, we felt compelled to inform you of the following incidents involving the referenced automobile: 'on or about april 2008 we had just left our house and traveled about two miles when we stopped at a red light. With the vehicle in gear and my foot on the brake, I felt the car attempting to surge forward. I applied greater pressure on the brake pedal and was able to keep the car from moving. This surging did not repeat itself at any other stops that day. …”

“I have an is250 for four years. In the last few days, I have experienced a vsc and check engine lights on. The car looses power and can't be driven securely once this happens. This had caused almost two accidents for me on the expressway as I drive about 40 miles each way to my office on a daily basis. Due to this problem and the security risk, I took the car to the dealer to get the problem fixed. I paid $100 just to check the car. The dealer said the problem was related with the springs on the valves that probably needed to be replaced. …”

“Hi, with all the news lately regarding the problems with sticking gas pedals on certain toyota models, I wanted to emphasize that I don't believe the problem is limited to toyotas. I had e-mailed you previously to describe similar problems my wife and I have had with our 2006 IS 250, where the car felt like it wanted to lurch forward with our foot on the brake pedal. Additionally, the tachometer needle was fluctuating while this was happening. Our car even died once at a stop light for no apparent reason. There is a record of our taking the car into putnam Lexus for inspection of this problem. …”
