heat light, no accelerating...Nothing like that it is such a shame. I am up beat and was just looking for probably something simple like a tps or fuse... But has been said by lexus that they don't know what's wrong. I was shocked though because lexus does know it will be 14 thousand dollars though to repair. (A new engine) I have pleaded with the corporate office and they said that since the car has 130.000 Miles it is not their resp. To help me with a solution.
