  1. OH PLEASEEEEEE... I'm in the same boat, so to say!! 1999 GS-300 with 72,000 (i bought with 32,000 three yrs ago) the car was cherry, I have no other transportation, an unreliable car is useless to me...I can't believe lexus cannot get to the bottom of this...the thought of being rear-ended by a MAK truck while driving on interstate 75 and loosing throttle is too scary, I won't even drive the car anymore!! I have to borrow friends cars just to get to work this has gone on for almost 3 weeks, the car's "get fixed" codes go away, I get in the car take it down the street, it starts to bog down then the VCS, VCS off, and engine light are on and no go unless I floor it and get 10 mph out of it... Someone suggested class action lawsuit since there was a recall orig. then lexus stopped putting these on the cars after 2006 (if I have all my facts right?!). I'm ONE desperate woman!!! the only thing that hasn't been replaced yet are the cable's and no one here has even mentioned those. I've already replaced all the sensors and the throttle motor (i'm in the hole for about $600) friends are working on the car for me (yes they are qualified)...Please HELP!!!
  2. I have a 1999 GS300 with 72,000 miles. I too have recently started to have the "limp-home" throttle problem, VSC, VSC OFF, and check engine light are on and I have NO acceleration, except a bit at the >75% threshold. I have joined this site in the hope of actually resolving this problem. Single mom of two great danes and no other form of transportation. The vehicle has become unreliable and unsafe since this happens anytime even on the expressway at 70 miles per hour or turning a corner. Have had the TPS replaced, computer reset and each time it will be fine for a bit then it will happen again. I am fearful because I can't seem to find a difinitive answer with regard to a CURE for this anomolistic chronic condition.... PLEASE HELP... I know that I've left out some piece of important info (and I don't have the specific codes it thru when they started to try and fix this problem - will have to get) Thanks!!
