Ok, so I'm new to this....I own a 2000 gs400, and I purchased it from an auction. I've had it now for a little over ayear with no problems. Today I was driving and all of a sudden I had no acceleration, the car was on but it would'nt go!!!! the check engine light came on and VSC and VSC off lights came on....It was very frightening!!!! Thank god I was able to pull over and turn the car off and on a couple of times and mess with the vsc button. I don't know what I did but within about 5 min. the acceleration resumed and I was able to drive home but the lights still remain on?????????????? What is this????????? If anyone can help me PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Ms.Diana

Get the codes pulled @ a Autozone or similar place for free. You can always bring it in to an independant shop and get it diagnosed or take it to a dealer. You have to get the codes pulled before you can do anything.

Thanks a million....I will try that!!!

No problem

Let us know what the problem is and what steps were taken to fix it.

Most definitely!!!

By the way, Welcome to the club

Just don;t panic!! You search the forum for clue and next time you will know what to do. This is a common problem for lexus. Good luck!

Dude....I'm a chick!!!!! I don't even know what or where to begin!!!!! Cars are like chinese to me!!!! If you know, please tell me what the problem could be......

This is NOT right!!! We all here try our best to help each other. If you go like this, I believe NOBODY WOULD LIKE TO HELP YOU! YOUR ATTITUDE IS JUST NOT RIGHT, CHIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!! THAT'S ALL FROM ME!!

Obviously....you have NO sense of humor!!!!

Driving down the freeway in my 2000 LS400 at highway speeds the accelerator went COMPLETELY dead - nothing on the other end of the accelerator. The car continued to run and coast and everything looked and felt fine (lights, radio, etc) - only there is no way to accelerate or even maintain speed. Check engine light came on and of course the VSC. Correction, if you mash the pedal ALL THE WAY to the floor that car re-engages and has the same affect as flooring it. Therefore, either you're coasting or taking off like a rocket. NOT GOOD when you're in traffic!

This happened about a month ago and comes and goes. The car drives fine for a few days then suddenly this occurs. The check engine light and problem may last a day or even several days. Replaced the MAF sensor (about a ten minute job), no fix.

Has anyone heard of this? Any ideas?

DUDE!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! I just posted a bulletin for the same problem!!!!!!! It is sooooooo scary!!!!! I don't have clue what to do either if you've come to solution yet..... PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!! I have a 2000 gs400, and yes, the problem comes and goes...not cool when you have kids in the car!!!!! Very scary!!!!! Please let me know what you did to fix the problem.....
