NHTSA Complaint #10872361 — 2007 LEXUS ES350

EXPERIENCED THREE INSTANCES OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE THIRD INSTANCE OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE ACCELERATION AND FORWARD MOMENTUM. HAD TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO STOP THE FORWARD MOVEMENT WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. IT STILL TOOK APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS FOR THE THROTTLE ACCELERATION AND SPINNING TIRES TO STOP. FLOOR MATS WERE ORIGINAL LEXUS INSTALLED CARPET MATS AND CHECKED TO SEE THEY WERE PROPERLY INSTALLED, AND THEY WERE. AFTER THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, I WAS DILIGENT IN ENSURING MY FOOT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND NOT INADVERTENTLY ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE FACT THAT IT OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES, WITH THE LAST INSTANCE BEING QUITE SEVERE WHILE I PROPERLY APPLIED THE BRAKES POINT TO A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO LEXUS AND ALLEGEDLY THEY WILL INVESTIGATE. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE FROM LEXUS AND HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED EVERY 5K MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP NEVER MENTIONED NOR TOOK ACTION ON THE RECALL SPECIFIED IN NHTSA CASE NUMBER 09V388000.
