“I was backing car out of driveway when all of a sudden car accelerated hitting curb, ran up an embankment and crashed into neighbors front steps. This is the first time it ever did that.

“I am still waiting for the takata airbags (about 1.5-2 yrs) to be replaced due to the recall but dealer just says nothing can be done until airbags are received. In addition, my dashboard has been melting for the last three years and now has become a safety issue because the glare blocks my line of vision during the day and at night due to the reflection of the lights.I told the dealer about this issue as well as Lexus customer service but I am just told that 2010 is not included in the recall campaign. …”

“The contact owns a 2010 Lexus ES350. The contact stated that the vehicle is turned off by a keyless system, the engine was very quiet; therefore; the driver left the engine running for over four hours. The contact stated that a keyless system was very dangerous. He feels a key system would be less likely to cause the problem of leaving the engine on. The VIN wasn't available. The failure and the current mileages were 5,000. Updated 12/22/10 updated 12/30/10”
