Tl* the contact owns a 2006 lexus gs300. the contact stated that the check engine and vehicle stability control warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 75,500.
When making right hand turns and applying heavy throttle, engine braking or torque management engages causing the car to forcefully resist acceleration. happens on wet or snowy roads or dry conditions. this control system also keeps the rear wheels turning when braking in slippery/snowy and icy conditions, even when completely stopped. i've almost been hit several times when trying to merge into heavy traffic in right hand turns. flooring it causes the car to basically try to stop itself. the snowy conditions issue has causes my car to try to slide to the right, into a ditch or other car several times in one 15 minute trip, to where i took the car and parked it due to being so afraid. i'm a veteran in driving in snow, so this isn't a driver issue. i wouldn't expect this out of any brand of car, especially a lexus. *tr
