I replaced the battery on my Lexus and it would no longer idle you take your foot off the accelerator and the engine dies. . The computer lost the idle parameters this is dangerous as I turned left off one road to another took my foot from accelarator to brake engine died and I lost power steering almost wrecked most mechanics are aware of this defect Lexus refused to admit it google it all over internet.
My 2000 Lexus Es300 was having issues with the rmp ramping up high when the engine is warm up especially when I accelerate at a dead stop. As of today the accelerator stick when I was cruising 55 on the highway and had a hard time stopping my car. I had to pull over into a gravel road with my foot on the brake hard and putting it on park. Finally my car skidded and stop. I'm afraid it might happen again and next time I won't be so fortunate to stop my vehicle like I did today. I just need to know what I can do as for my vehicle goes. Is there a recall on the model of my car or any Lexus or toyotas with the same issue? if there is what is your suggestion I should do to get my vehicle fix.
On 12/23/09 at approximately 1:46pm, my mother lost control of her 2006 Lexus Es300 in the parking lot of a store in miami, FL. The car went up on a raised grass bed and was stopped only because it was caught between the arms of a large, metal gate. The gate removed the entire hood of the car and shattered the windshield. Miraculously, my mother was not hurt and no other cars or persons were involved in the incident. My mother was ticketed for "careless" driving, loss of control. From the moment I arrived on the scene, she described a feeling of not being in control of her car - she said that it was as if the car was going without her! we have repeatedly checked with Lexus, and have been told that the accelerator pedal for her make, model, year is not one of the ones effected by the recall. However, now that the electronic issues are emerging in the press - - we cannot help but believe that her accident is related to the Toyota/Lexus accelerator system! on Monday, 2/8/10, I have made an appointment for her to bring her repaired car (picking up today) to Lexus of kendall on us 1 in miami to be inspected by a service manager there. Nonetheless, we want to report this incident officially - - even if it is the first 2006, Lexus Es300 incident to be reported! we do not want this to happen to anyone else!.
