LIGHT BUT WE WEREN'T TOLD ANYWAY THE CAR HAS TO DATE..3/2/2010 NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THE CAR HAS OIL/WATER AND WAS NOT DAMAGED. IT RAN FINE !!!!!!! NO OVER HEAT LIGHT, NO ACCELERATING...NOTHING LIKE THAT IT IS SUCH A SHAME. I AM UP BEAT AND WAS JUST LOOKING FOR PROBABLY SOMETHING SIMPLE LIKE A TPS OR FUSE... BUT HAS BEEN SAID BY LEXUS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. I WAS SHOCKED THOUGH BECAUSE LEXUS DOES KNOW IT WILL BE 14 THOUSAND DOLLARS THOUGH TO REPAIR. (A NEW ENGINE) I HAVE PLEADED WITH THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE THE CAR HAS 130.000 MILES IT IS NOT THEIR RESP. TO HELP ME WITH A SOLUTION. MY FAMILY HAS PURCHASED 4 VEHICLES FROM LEXUS. WE HAVE NOT HAD PROBLEMS. WHY NOW ARE THEY TURNING THEIR BACKS???
