general problems of the 2006 Lexus ES330

When turning into a parking space on a private parking lot, the vehicle spede up and brakes did not stop it. The vehicle jumped a curb and continued until it hit two trees that stopped it. Damage was estimated at $9000.

In city traffic, acceleration with my 2006 Es330 is not predictable and it hesitates rather than responding appropriately as the gas pedal is pressed. Has also happened as I am trying to accelerate to merge into traffic. Occurs sporadically and is very unpredictable. Can go weeks without it happening. No accidents due to this - yet. I have taken car back into Lexus dealership and got a canned response of it adapting to the driver patterns and it is responding the way it is supposed to - basically telling me that my problem is not a problem. I will not buy another Lexus and will probably get rid of this one much sooner than how I normally keep vehicles.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) our 2006 Lexus Es330 hesitates and stutters when accelerating after a slow-down, stop or during a turn. I have read various things which suggest it could be throttle control, computer controlled accelerator, or mass air flow maf sensor or air intake sensor ais, etc. Etc. But something is definitely wrong. Dealer is no help. We took the car for this trouble to Lexus of valencia and saw assistant service manager [xxx] . He told us that this the way the car was built. I then tried my best to handle this car but it caused the same problem again and again. We took the car to the dealer a 2nd time -- valencia Lexus and the manager told us nothing is wrong with this car. I have been having this problem since I bought the car in 1/14/2009. It hesitates when I take turns, or when I stop at traffic lights and stop signs. Many times the accelerator goes idle during these events and car does not move and than I put more pressure on the accelerator but then it goes fast and I almost end up hitting the car in front of me.

On 9/27/2007, my car (Lexus Es330) went out of control due to sudden acceleration in a parking lot of a shopping center in glenview, IL, and crashed with cars parked nearby. This car incident was reported to the car dealer, but I was told there was no problem with the car. The cost of repair was very high.

I was given a Lexus 300 series loaner by highland park Lexus in highland park illinois in 2006 while they serviced my Lexus 430. . . While on hwy 41 in highland park illinois the vehicle stalled. . . I was unable to restart it for 15 minutes. . . It then restarted. . . The battery was fine. . . The issue was electronic.
