The contact owns a 2002 Lexus Es 300.

The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and was later towed back to the residence. The dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

In a commercial parking lot, I shifted from r to d to exit a parking space and, with my foot on the brake pedal, my Lexus suddenly sped forward and rammed a parked car, driving it into a 3rd car.
When my vehicle is immediately put in drive gear from reverse gear, foot taken off the brake and tap the gas pedal, my vehicle surges forward as if it is in full throttle. As result, my vehicle jumped the curb and impacted a brick wall. I suffered a bloody nose and a cut on my hand. The vehicle suffered frontal damage and is undriveable. I have contacted the auto manufacturer. They will tow and inspect it.
