Consumer Description

ON 11/20/09, I WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE IN MY 2002 LEXUS ES300. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, IT BOOMED FORTH, AND THE BRAKE DIDN'T WORK. I TRIED TO GET AROUND THE CAR THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF ME BUT THE SPEED WAS SUCH THAT I HIT IT. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND THE CAR I HIT. THE DRIVER WAS IN THE CAR AND HAS SINCE CLAIMED SHE WAS INJURED. I HAD ANOTHER INSTANCE OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION 2 YEARS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT BUT WAS ABLE TO STOP. I URGE YOU TO PUSH TOYOTA TO ADMIT THAT THERE ARE CASES OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN MODELS THAT PRE-DATE THE ONES THEY ARE RECALLING AND TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. *CN
