2000 LEXUS GS300 Electrical System Problems

WHILE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE IT WAS TRYING TO START UP ON IT'S OWN WITH NO KEYS. THE DASH LIGHTS WERE BLINKING AND THE CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD CRANKING, BANGING NOISE AND WE COULD SMELL THE SMOKE. AFTER LIFTING UP THE HOOD WE COULD SEE THE SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND IT WAS STILL TRYING TO CRANK UP. SMOKE BEGIN TO FILL THE GARAGE AND IT WAS GETTING WORSE. WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH THE EXTINGUISHER AND WERE ABLE TO REMOVE THE BATTERY TO GET THE CAR TO STOP TRYING TO START UP. WHAT WOULD CAUSE SUCH A DANGEROUS THING TO HAPPEN. CAR IS STILL IN THE GARAGE AT THIS TIME NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH IT BECAUSE I AM NOT SURE OF THE ENGINE DAMAGE THE FIRE CAUSED. IS THIS SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION? *TR

I HAVE LEXUS GS300. THE CAR WERE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I TOWED THE CAR TO LEXUS. THEY TOLD ME IT IS NOT MECHANICAL PROBLEM. ONE OF THE ELECTRONIC SENSOR WERE MALFUNCTION. IT SEEMS THE LEXUS SENSE IS NOT RELIABLE AND CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

LEXUS ISSUE TO ABC NEWS ON JANUARY 29, 2010. *TR I OWNED A LEXUS GS NOT TOO LONG AGO THAT HAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. LEXUS DID EVERYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM....BUT THEY JUST HAD NO FIX FOR IT. IT WAS NOT A PETAL PROBLEM.....IT WAS IN THE ELECTRONIC ACCELERATION CONTROL UNIT. HOW DID I KNOW THIS.....AFTER I GOT RID OF THE CAR I MET A TECHNICIAN THAT HAD WORKED FOR STERLING MCCALL LEXUS IN HOUSTON TX. HE TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE CONTROL UNIT AND MAIN COMPUTER AND THAT LEXUS NEVER WAS ABLE ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I HAD THE COMPUTER REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER. I GUARANTEE THAT THE LEXUS/TOYOTA ISSUE IS NOT A GAS PETAL ISSUE......IT IS IN THAT ELECTRONIC ACCELERATION MODULE. THEIR FIX WON'T WORK AND THERE WILL STILL BE WRECKS, INJURIES AND DEATHS AFTER EVERY RECALLED UNIT IS FIXED. IF...

VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO STATED THAT STABILIZER BAR WAS DEFECTIVE. *AK CONSUMER STATED THAT HE HIT FIVE CARS OVER A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 1/2 MILE BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. SURGING CAUSED BY ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE, BRAKE AND AIRBAG PROBLEMS, ARISING FROM THE WAVE AND THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER. *TT
