Hello all. I just traded my '06 IS250 for an '06 GS300. I was excited to upgrade to the bigger vehicle and pleased to find a car for a great deal. Well a few hours after I took possesion of the car the CHECK VSC message came on along with the CHECK ENGINE light. I was livid. I've heard that it can be anything from a broken gas cap to a sensor. Well I'm frustrated because the car had just over 50k miles so the factory warranty just expired. I purchased an extended warranty but it hasn't been made effective yet...will probably take a week or so. Of course the dealer is claiming since it happened once I took posession of the car it is my issue. However, he has taken the car back and had it inspected. I found out today that it is probably an air fuel sensor which will cost $450. Does this sound right to you guys? Does it seem fair that I am responsible for this cost?

In case anyone was curious to know or had the same issues. The dealer was able to fix my seat and stop the squeaky noise. They tightened a loose bolt in the seat. Also the noise that I could hear popping near the front end was coming from a loose bolt as well. They had to remove a piece of carpet near the drivers right knee side and tighten a bolt and the noise is gone now. Unfortunately like all others with the "rock hitting the front dash" sound, there is no fix for this one yet.

Is anyone hearing a popping noise from there IS250 that sounds like it is coming from the front wheel? Whenever I brake or accelerate from an incline I hear a popping sound coming from my left front end. I also hear it when I am trying to park.
