Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSED MY ELDERLY PARENTS TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE POWER TO THE VEHICLE IS LOST. THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED THE VEHICLE TO ONE DIRECTION. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON "CHECK VSC" SYSTEM. LEXUS HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS AND SENSORS BEFORE ON THESE VEHICLES. ON OURS A RECALL WAS SAID TO BE NEEDED FOR THE SENSOR BUT INSTEAD THE SENSOR WAS JUST WIPED AND CLEANED AND A COVER ON IT WAS CHANGED. CURRENTLY VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE MORE THEN 3MPH AND OCCASIONALLY VEHICLE ALSO SHUTS OFF. ALL LIGHTS ARE LIT UP ON CAR.
