Thanks Shoafb,
I doubt they will offer another, although that would be nice. I've never heard of a dealership giving you another one to replace the first, although I guess it's possible.
I'm hoping it's just some software glitch. It is potentially a dangerous problem from the standpoint of trying to pass another vehicle or trying to merge into or around traffic on a feeder street, etc. Can you imagine trying to pass someone on a two lane highway, you put your foot into it and nothing happens.
When I took it in yesterday one of the technicians rode with me and could not believe it, but he experienced it happening with me and then he drove it and he was dumbfounded that it was doing that, so they know it is happening.
They called me back late in the evening to tell me that someone else took it out and it did not act up, that figures, but at least the one technician experienced it so they don't think I'm crazy.
They will not get back to it until Monday, I told them that, "I want this fixed!". They said that they've never heard of this before, I kind of find that hard to believe. Maybe not on the IS, but at least on other models just from what I've read on the net.
It's really a let down, it's my first Lexus, I bought a Lexus because of the wonderful things I hear and only two weeks after having the car, transmission problems start. I have not "hot rodded" it or anything. I'm 43 and drive like I'm an old man. I guess I am already "over the hill" come to think of it.
I'll let everyone know how it goes.
Thanks,
