Automatic Emergency Braking Problems of Lexus ES

The pre-collision system (pcs) activated twice in the last couple of weeks with absolutely no reason. Both times it activated with transmission in reverse and vehicle in process of backing up. But there was no vehicle or person within the vicinity. The sudden braking startled the driver and passengers giving concern about the viability of the vehicle operating in a safe manner for the rest of the trip. The problem has not been seen or inspected by the dealer or service personnel.

Describe:     •    rear camera froze     •    parking assist warning did not activate     •    auto-brake did not engage     •    accident occurred before recall update I backed into my neighbors car which was parked opposite my driveway. Searched and found Lexus safety recall notice 25la06.

I ran my car’s left front corner into a concrete pillar at about 5 mph, put it in reverse and then the car engine sounded as if it was accelerating and it moved backward at a rapid pace. I put my foot on the brake, no response, then put gear shifter into drive, no response, put shifter in neutral, no response, then rear left corner of my vehicle rammed into a concrete pillar/metal window frame. I then turned the vehicle off, restarted and drove away. I did not put my foot on accelerator to cause the rapid engine acceleration.
