NHTSA Complaint #10261936 — 2004 LEXUS ES 330

PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS OR MAY BE RELATED TO OTHER ODI I JUST REPORTED AT 10261933. I HAVE A LEXUS 2004 ES330 AND IN ADDITION TO WEIRD BRAKING PROBLEMS, I HAVE ALSO HIT THE BRAKE AND BASICALLY FELT THE CAR CONTINUE LIKE I NEVER HIT THE BRAKE AND I AM ACCELERATING OR HAVE CRUISE CONTROL ON. WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED, I DID NOT FEEL THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGE OR ANY TYPE OF SLOWING DOWN OCCUR. I END UP HITTING AND RELEASING THE BRAKE QUICKLY TO TRY AND GET THE CAR TO BRAKE AND COME TO A STOP. ON ONE OCCASION I ALSO QUICKLY HIT THE GAS TO SEE IF PERHAPS THAT WOULD CLEAR THE PROBLEM, AND IT DID NOT. I PULLED OVER, CHECKED THAT NO DEBRIS OR FLOOR RUG HAD SOME HOW MADE THE GAS PEDAL STINK, AND THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. OTHER THAN THIS PROBLEM, AND THE PROBLEMS REPORTED UNDER ODI 10261933, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS W/ ACCELERATING OR STOPPING. I HAVE BROUGHT THE ISSUE TO THE ATTENTION OF LEXUS AND THEY HAVE DENIED ANY RECALLS OR OTHER REPORTED PROBLEMS. I SUSPECT THEY ASSUME I AM A WOMAN - WHO CANNOT DRIVE. AGAIN, I HAVE OWNED FAST HIGH PERFORMANCE PORSHE AND MERCEDES PREVIOUSLY AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I HOPE SOMEONE WILL FIGURE THIS OUT BEFORE I AM INJURED OR PERHAPS SOMEONE ELSE IS. THANKS. PS NO DATE OF INCIDENT, SO I WILL PUT 1/1/09. THIS REFUSAL OF THE CAR TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE ETC HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 5 TIMES. *TR
