What owners wrote
On 02/06/09 the car engine malfunction light turned on as well as the other one's on the dash. The car reduced the velocity while driving on the highway and did not accelerate any faster the 40 MPH. I took the car to the lexus dealership service department. They stated it was a misfire in some cylinder and also some problem with the gasoline. They fixed it. On may 4, 2009 I had the same problem with the car. The car malfunctioning lights turned on and the car loses velocity while driving on the highway.
We have returned 2007 lexus is 250 4 times to dealer for stalling while on highway. Dangerous scenario. Each time the service center stated the car was fixed only to get back on highway and again it stalls. The last two times the car would not go over 5 MPH within 24 hours of when car was returned to us. The last three trips to lexus have been within the last 2 weeks. I don't think lexus has a grasp of why their cars are stalling.
