Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“In city traffic, acceleration with my 2006 es330 is not predictable and it hesitates rather than responding appropriately as the gas pedal is pressed. Has also happened as I am trying to accelerate to merge into traffic. Occurs sporadically and is very unpredictable. Can go weeks without it happening. No accidents due to this - yet. I have taken car back into Lexus dealership and got a canned response of it adapting to the driver patterns and it is responding the way it is supposed to - basically telling me that my problem is not a problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10342032, filed 2010-07, 78,327 miles“My Lexus ES 330 2006 suddenly accelerated while pulling slowly into a driveway. It traveled about 80 feet, crashed over a 2.5 ft cement wall, through an iron rail fence and came to rest on the collapsed fence with the front wheels partially submerged in a swimming pool. There was no physical injury. The cause of the acceleration is unexplained.”
