Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was driving in traffic when the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated. When I applied the brakes, it did not seem to have any effect. The vehicle kept speeding up out of control. The consumer stated she listed the incorrect failure mileage at the time of the accident. Updated 06/29/10.”

NHTSA complaint #10331281, filed 2010-05, 2,742 miles

“While attempting to enter a plaza by making a right turn, I tried to step on the brakes while turning, but the car jerked into a sudden acceleration. Suddenly, the car accelerated because the brakes didn't work. I crashed up into the curb and into a tree and into a parked car. With such impact and force, my car pushed the parked car to the next parking lane, thus damaging the car parked next to the first car I hit. Therefore, the first car I hit was completely destroyed and the second car had some dents and damages. My car is still in the body shop and still needs to be fixed.”

NHTSA complaint #10405905, filed 2011-06, 58,000 miles

“2007 Lexus gs350 sudden acceleration. This is similar to reports on file on Lexus 2007 es350. The gs350 will drive around in parking lot without pressing on gasoline pedal at 12-15mph. At speeds of 40mph a slight pressure on gas pedal causes acceleration to 50-60mph. I am forced to drive it with triptronic transmission to slow vehicle because excessive brake pressure required to stop it. This in on-going issue.”

NHTSA complaint #10277400, filed 2009-07, 23,000 miles

“2007 Lexus gs350 with unintended acceleration. The consumer stated while pulling into a parking space, the vehicle took off and jumped the cement divider and curb. It stopped only when it rammed the wall. The consumers foot was on the brake and the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was purchased. After inspecting the vehicle to establish what happened, they determined that the vehicle was mechanically perfect. The consumer indicated the possibility of the floor mat shifting, but that was rejected. …”
