reyoasian Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 So i just got back from the dealer, and this is what's happened: Apparently the wire that connects the ABS to the AWD system in the rear-left wheel has been cut. Possibility 1: It wasn't cut in the middle, it was right at the end of the wire, so perfect you can be 99% sure that a person did it. But I had my car parked outside in the DAYLIGHT, why the hell would anyone do this? And why would they go specifically for that wire? (Seems like they know something about cars). Also, wouldn't they mind getting dirty under a car? If it's a hater, why not key my car or something? (Although, I'd probably prefer this over the keying because everything is covered under warranty) Possibility 2: Something happened and it just disconnected (broke) while driving...? I had no problems and no accidents, so I have no idea how this could have happened.. It's a brand new car, just got it in August... maybe a bird/squirrel chewed it off? PICTURES (I stuck my camera under the car and tried to take some pictures of the bad wheel and the good one on the rear-right): ---------------------- So Lexus is ordering the parts for it to be fixed from California, and will get it sometime next week, and I probably won't be able to get a service appointment until the week after that. I'm getting my snow tires done tomorrow (without the TPM), so that's another warning that I'm going to get on the dash.... I can already see the fun in driving this car for the next 2 weeks.......... P.S. So everything is fully functional except ABS...what is it for anyways?
1990LS400 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Its odd how such a large number of issues - most minor, some major - cause VSC and TRAC to be disabled. The warning lights mean essentially nothing except that there is some problem -- usually not related to VSC and TRAC. Please let us know what caused the warning lights in this situation.
