“My farm is 1/2 mile off weld county road 16 in keenesburg colorado. There is a gravel drive around the house to a short concrete driveway in front of the garage. When we drive onto the concrete portion, we are angled north east toward the garage door and have to back up a short distance to head the car east to enter the garage. We drive very slow through the yard as we have animals to watch out for and make a slow entry towards the concrete driveway. …”
NHTSA complaint #11218629, filed 2019-06, 48,000 miles“I was accelerating to merge on 4 line traffic and my car started suddenly to accelerate even when I was not pressing the accelerating pedal I tried to hit the brakes but it did not slow the car I push to neutral position hitting the brakes but the car was still going fast. I was going to an exit trying to stop the car keeping in neutral and hitting the brakes I was able to stop and shot the engine off.”
NHTSA complaint #10454032, filed 2012-04, 28,000 miles“My 2010 Lexus rx 350 has had two incidents of sudden accelaration in the 6 weeks I have owned the vehicle. On both occasions, the vehicle suddenly reved up past 4 to 5,000 RPM for a fraction of a second and then returned to normal RPM (2000). Reported the first incident to Lexus. No action has been taken by Lexus.”
NHTSA complaint #10310398, filed 2010-02, 350 miles“We had a 2010 Lexus 350rx. In aug 2009, I was driving home and the car accelerated up to about 60mph. My husband was in the car with me. We were trying everything to stop the car. We finally got it stopped. It did it a second time with my husband driving the next day. We know without a doubt that it was not the floormat . Which that is what Lexus blamed it on. I would not drive that car again.”
NHTSA complaint #10312842, filed 2010-02, 6,992 miles“I was pulling into a parking spot at my workplace at very low speed and the Lexus accelerated wildly over the curb onto plants and iceplant into a tree, which stopped the car. The hood was dented, the grill cracked and the bumper was ripped off both sides. I took it to the dealership immediately. The edr was supposedly checked by a 'neutral' third party and I was called by the dealership to come pick up the vehicle and the factory would respond in writing in 30 days. Unacceptable.”
