Consumer Description

I HAVE LEXUS LX470 2001 WHICH SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AFTER I MADE A STOP AT A CORNER WHICH HAD A STEEP UPHILL TO CLIMB AND IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD BUT STARTED TO ROLL BACK WHEN I ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE. I HEAR THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE BUT IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. I TOOK IT TO LEXUS BUT THEY SAID EVERYTHING IS FINE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO TO THREE TIMES AND FINALLY LEXUS SAID THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE IS MALFUNCTIONING AND CHANGED IT FOR AROUND APPROXIMATELY $2000. SO PLEASE LOOK INTO THE MATTER IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR NATURE TO MAKE THESE VEHICLES SAFER TO DRIVE. THANKS. I AM GIVING APPROXIMATE DATES. *TR
