2005 Lexus LS430 Vehicle speed control Problems

“Two months ago I had a sudden acceleration event in my Lexus LS430, 2005. I was ina museum parking garage, my wife got out, I needed to reposition to not be 'on the line'. I backed up, pressed the gas very lightly and the car accelerated out of control. I slammed on the brakes and was able to halt it one-two inches from the wall. Initially, I blamed myself but then thought it might have been my floor mat and removed it. My wife remains terrified to this day. …”

“On sep 17, 2009 as I left a gas station the Lexus LS430 year 2005 accelerated and I was only able to avoid the cars in front of me was to swerve to the right and jammed of the brake with both feet. Unknowingly I ran into a telephone guy wire and the only damage was superficial ($3300.00) to the right front light and bumper. For the last few months I have been trying to figure out what could have possibly gone wrong. I notice the accelerator pedal appears to momentarily stick. Usaa fixed the auto and though I wondered what had happened I did not report the accident until now.”

“Driving into the garage to park, the car jerked and suddenly accelerated. Crashed into the shelvings, plumbing tools and parts. Pushing everything against the rear wall which was damaged.”

Smoke started coming out of the steering column and soon after flames could be seen through the heavy smoke. The fire was extinguished by the fire dept. It took 6 1/2 days for the vehicle to be repaired. …”

“As I was driving along the road, two miles from my house in a residential area. The car suddenly and drastically began to accelerate. I remember vividly pressing the brake pedal multiple times but it failed to decelerate the car at all. Afraid as I was, I ceased to step on the brake or the gas pedal, the car continued accelerating and kept gaining momentum. At that point, I was trying to avoid hitting the cars in front and incoming cars from the other direction of the road. I drove for about a half mile on and off the right side curbside, as clipping mailboxes along the way. …”
