A reasonable question in retrospect. At the time I figured I had a problem with the AWD system since that was the error message which was staring me in the face. I have since talked to the owner of the company which pumps the fuel. They have not received any other complaints. They have a electronic sensor which looks for water in the tank every day between one and three in the morning.

I refueled last Monday and within a mile of the station the car started to "buck". Pulled over and found the engine check and TRAC lights lit and a "Check AWD System" message on the display. Turned the engine off and back on and it ran OK albeit with the indicators still on. Drove car home and picked up my 92 GMC pickup. Refueled the truck at the same pump and it ran fine.At Lexus service advisors suggestion had the car towed to their shop. They found what looks like water in the gasoline and said that there have been a number of instances of contaminated fuel causing this kind of problem. Has anybody else heard of this happening?
