“I was driving at 55mph when Lexus 2007 Lexus gs350 suddenly accelerated. The g-forces pinned me to the seat. I was able to shift to neutral and hit brake in less than a second. I then disconnected negative pole on battery for 5 minutes and this resets the computer and surge temporarily ends. The process was described to me by a Lexus dealer service manager for a previous Lexus I owned.”

“Yesterday my test drive of the 2007 Lexus GS 350 awd confirms that like its siblings and cousins (the Lexus es 350 and the toyota camry), the gs gives no error warning when the stop button is pressed with the vehicle stopped with the brake applied and the vehicle in drive. There is no chime, no message to put car in park , just total silence. If the driver releases the brake at this point and the car in on an incline, naturally it will roll. Other manufacturer's (cadillac, bmw, infiniti) give a chime warning and/or a message to put the car in park. …”
