Hi Andy, did you ever get sorted? My 2006 gs300 seems to be doing the same thing, and also when im cruising along at 50-60mph and let the throttle off and put it back on, the car lets a 'thump' noise from the rear, but only when the engine is warm. Vsc light comes on now and again, and when coming to a stop the car sometimes stalls, im wondering if it is all related? Smooth shifts in manual/sport which makes me think its not something serious, maybe a sensor?
