Hi I've recently purchased a LS400 and I've been lurking these forums for quite a while. I've only owned my car for four days and last night after sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on a motorway on-ramp for 30mins, i was driving in the merge lane when the steering went heavy; I looked down and noticed all the warning lights on my dash were on - the engine had stalled.
I pushed the car into an emergency stopping bay and had a look for anything obvious, after the car had been shut off for about 20 mins I thought I'd try start it, it started and ran fine but I had it towed home to be safe.
Has anyone had a similar experience and can offer some advice?
I purchased my 2011 IS350 four days ago. The first day i took it out i got 300 km before the engine shut down while on the freeway. All of the idiot lights came on. I let the car rest for 20 minutes or so with just the engine light and the anti slip light on while I called the dealer. They said to go ahead and drive it so I was able to get where I was going 20 minutes at a time. After 20 minutes the car would again shut down. It is still at a dealership and they advise that at this time they have no idea what has happened.
