Our es 350 has been rendered unusable since we cannot carry any passengers in the front seat. Lexus has not offered to disable the front airbag so that seat can be used until the recall is completed. We need another vehicle in the interim and have not been offered one by Lexus or need the front airbag disabled.”

NHTSA complaint #10938845, filed 2016-12

Brakes: “I was pulling into a parking space, driving very very slowly, about 1 or 2 MPH, and my vehicle experienced unintended acceleration, bolting forward very abruptly. I was able to stop the car by applying extreme pressure on the brake for a few seconds. The dealership reviewed the car and said there was nothing wrong. They suggest that I might have stepped on the brake and accelerator at the same time, which they did to replicate the experience. …”
