May 9, 2017. At approximately 5:50 pm, I got in my car which was parked in a small outdoor parking lot. I started it and put it in reverse and the car took off. Even though I applied the brakes the car did not stop or slow down. It slammed into a parked 2016 mercedes with such force that the mercedes was left almost perpendicular with its space. Police were called and came to scene but because the parking lot is on private property, no report was filed. The owner of the other vehicle and I exchanged information.

While driving on the highway my car suddenly stop with no apparent reason at all. I tried to accelerate but it did not responded, eventhough the engine was running perfectly. Everything was working but the accelerator. When taken to the lexus dealer they told me the problem was with the electronic control module. They told me it will cost me around $3,000.00 To replace it. Is this normal for this car to happen or is it normal wear and tear?. We did not have an accident because it was early in the morning but it could be worse during heavy traffic hours. *Tr

Lexus stuck pedal--i drive a 1998 lexus gs400 which I bought new. When I first bought it, I'd pressed the pedal all the way down("floored it") many times and everything was fine. However in more recent years, I rarely "floored it" . One time last summer, I pushed the pedal all the way down to pass a car and the pedal stuck. My car accelerated from 35mph to 70mph in a matter of seconds on a local road. I hit the brakes several times but it kept speeding up. I was able to pry up the pedal up with my toe averting a...

Sudden acceleration of 1998 lexus gs400 once on jan. 16,1999 With no damage. I was parking the vehicle. A second time on jan. 1, 2001. I was pulling up to a gas pump and the car suddenly accelerated into the curb at the pump and also hit the pump. Both incidents reported to dealer, but were treated as driver error. Second incident caused minor damage to the pump and moderate damage to my vehicle. I am reporting this at this time, because I have seen no reports of this problem on toyota vehicles as far back as 1998. I currently own a 2007 lexus gs350 with 15k miles and a 2008 toyota highlander with 26k miles and have had no problems with either car. *Tr

On the first day I purchased my lexus in virginia I almost drove the car over the curb. I thought my foot hit the gas accidentally, but it had not. Since that time I have had numerous instances where the car lurched forward while I was stopped with my foot on the brake. Luckily the problem never caused an accident so I never complained about it. I thought my car was the only one with the problem. I read a recent article in usatoday about the problem, and realized that my car was not the only one doing it. My 1998 lexus gs400 has lurched forward several times while my foot was applied to the brake.*Ak
