lambobaby1218 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I started the car this morning, and it did that false start thing, where you think it's starting, but then it dies. This has NEVER happened to me before, esp. with the push button start. I started it up again, and it started fine. Could this be an issue? Or am I just being normally overly concerned?
clay1 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Happened to me ONCE in one year/31,000 miles, about four months ago. I would just let it go. Wait and see.
SailorDanH Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Same with me...only one time in 22,000 mi on the IS350 (2007). It happened when the car was quite new, and did it only the one time.
lambobaby1218 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 I'm about ready to take it in for the 30,000 service, so I'll mention it to the dealer, but not worry about it. Thanks!
Gaugster Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 It happened to me once as well. It was just after I had reconnected the battery after performing some work. I just assumed that the car needed a few more cranks than typical to learn itself after the power was disconnected.
ame03 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I think this happens when you release the brake pedal too soon, it happen to me once but i released the brake pedal too soon on purpose i don't think you should worry about anything
linn Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Did you "play" with the radio, nav etc.? It happens to me quite often wenn I use to play around and press the Start-Button a couple of times without starting the engine! linn

Even not after you stopped the engine the last time before??
lambobaby1218 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 The first thing that I do when I get in the car is put my foot on the brake and press the button to start it. I don't turn on the radio first thing. So no, I wasn't messing around with the radio before I started the car.
