2008 Lexus LS460 Vehicle speed control Problems

“I drove my car over to pick my grandson up we went to the park, when I was taking him home the vsc code came on and said take care to dealer for service, engine light came on as well. I call and made an appointment immediately and they told me to leave the vehicle and they would run diagnostics see what was causing it. The next day they cleared the code called and told me to pick up. When I was leaving the same lights came on again (engine, vsc etc). Got out of the car and told service rep. That the same thing was happening again. …”

“As I was driving into my home garage, my car suddenly accelerated on its own and eventually crashed in the back wall of the garage. Depressing the brakes failed to stop the vehicle before crashing.

Thereafter, I reported the crash incident to Lexus who then had the vehicle inspected on april 9, 2014. …”

He told me that I must have had my foot on the gas pedal. …”

“Sudden unintended acceleration in a parking lot. Required both feet with extreme pressure to stop vehicle even after it collided with and pushed another, unoccupied vehicle sideways one entire parking slot. Driver and 3 passengers in vehicle at time of incident.”

“After the vehicle has an oil change, the car will (intermittently) hesitate to accelerate. This is especially dangerous when you are trying to merge into the freeway or similar occasions. When attempted to depress the gas pedal with expectation that the car will respond and accelerate as normal, the engine just revs up and the vehicle doesn't move any faster than current speed. This will continue for 5-10 seconds then it kicks in. This delays is very dangerous when you want to get out of harms way (accelerate to merge into freeway, passing etc). …”
