What is your question?
I have a 2015 Lexus GS 350 F Sport. Almost from the beginning i have been experiencing intermittent false starts. I put my foot on the brake, "key" lights on dash board and then I press the start button. The engine turns over and then dies. It takes usually three or four times for the engine to finally start. The dealer has told me many times that they have not been able to duplicate the problem. They have not made any corrections. Now it looks like other Lexus cars have had this same issue.

Is it possible you are prematurely releasing brake pedal while engine is CRANKING?
Yes please post when you find out. Myself and another poster have a different issue, but may be tied to yours. I called The local Lexus dealer yesterday but they had never heard of the problem. My 2015 Lexus GS 350 Sport. Yesterday on a 140 mile drive, the radio locked up and I was unable to raise/lower volume, unable to turn off the radio or control navigation. The steering wheel radio/phone functions would not respond either. I got home, turned off vehicle and restarted it and everything worked ok. I have only driven the vehicle once after the incident and everything is ok so far. I only have 19,500 miles on it. I will post if I find out the cause.
That was one of the things that I originally thought could be the problem. It was not the issue. I have tried several troubleshooting solutions and none have fixed the issue. My car is currently in the shop for regular servicing and this issue as well. My car only has 25,000 miles! I have read that several Lexus owners have had this identical problem, on different models. I have printed the info and will take to the dealership tomorrow. Can't figure why it's all over the internet, yet they are not even admitting that it's a documented problem.
Post final results here so others may benefit.. Good luck with it!
