NHTSA Complaint #10641793 — 2008 LEXUS LS460

AS I WAS DRIVING INTO MY HOME GARAGE, MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND EVENTUALLY CRASHED IN THE BACK WALL OF THE GARAGE. DEPRESSING THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE CRASHING. PRIOR TO THE CRASHING INCIDENT, THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAPPENED AT LEAST TWO OTHER TIMES BUT THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPPED BEFORE AN IMPACT. AROUND THE END OF MARCH 2014, MY BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA FOR REPAIRS. THEREAFTER, I REPORTED THE CRASH INCIDENT TO LEXUS WHO THEN HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED ON APRIL 9, 2014. THE TOYOTA EAA INSPECTOR SENT ME A MEMORY STICK WITH THE EDR DATA (CRASH DATA) FROM MY VEHICLE BUT WOULD NOT PROVIDE AN ANALYSIS OR INTERPRETATION OF THE DATA AND SUBSEQUENTLY DENIED MY CLAIM FOR THE DAMAGE INCURRED TO MY CAR. *TR
