Lexus LS430 Airbag problems by year

At approximately 2:00 pm on jan. 5, 2020, I was driving my 2006 lexus ls 430 in a residential area in bethesda, md. I decided to turn around. I turned right into a driveway (at a low speed) with the brake pedal applied. Suddenly, and without warning, the car accelerated wildly, making a great deal of engine noise, as the throttle appeared to be wide open. Thankfully I hit a near-by tree and two front air bags deployed. A homeowner called the police, and an ambulance took me to the emergency room at a nearby hospital. If this sudden acceleration had occurred on a highway, I am certain that lives would have been lost.

Takata recall, during accident air bags under inflated, my legs was bruised and swollen. My car self accelerated, I couldn't control the speed, my brakes didn't work, my car stopped by hitting the car in front of me. Claim [[redacted]], the car was in motion, on a freeway, driving straight, I have a recall claim [[redacted]]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tt

I turned around in a parking lot by backing up and reversing my direction, after I reversed my direction the car shot forward without my foot on the gas pedal.

Re: lexus ls330 - problem with the airbag on the passenger side the lexus ls330 has a mechanism on the passenger side that turns the airbag on or off based on the weight of the person sitting in front seat. It was meant to turn off for a child and turn on for an adult. It does not work properly (at least in my car). Apparently it keeps turning off completely and also turns on the "take to dealer light". I have had the dealer look at the car twice. It is again in the off mode permanently. I believe this is a safety issue. *Jb

The consumer experienced sudden acceleration in her 2005 lexus ls 430 while pulling into a parking lot . *Nm the consumer doesn't think the air bag inflated all the way because her noise hit the steering wheel. Her right shin smashed into the dashboard which resulted in a very large hematoma on her right shin. 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. The consumer request that the manufacturer reimburse her for her medical bills, rental payments, lease payments and amount paid to lawyer. *Nm updated 05/03/10
