I had no problems with my 2004 Lexus 300se until I ran through a building. My car only had 16,000 miles on it and I never experienced braking problems, exceleration problems or anything of the sort. I did call the dealership when recalls were very big news in the media but was told my model was not on any lists for recall. I drove my car to the tailor shop. . . I turned in the shopping center with no problem. . I turned into the parking place in front of the tailor shop and the car would not stop. I pressed the brake but the car just went into lunge mode and instead of stopping went faster. I had my brake pressed all the way to the floorboard. Thank god the lady in the tailor shop was in the back of the store because my car did not come to rest until it was inside the store and pinned at a wall. People came out from other stores. . Smoke everywhere. . . They came to my window and told me to turn the key off. The wheels were still spinning but my foot was not on the accelerator - the wheels came to a stop when I turned off the ignition. My car was considered a total loss. Damage to the bldg included all of their front glass and interior. I don't know a final figure on the third party damge. My insurance covered the claim but I truly feel this is a Lexus issue and they should be held responsible as the accelerator apparently stuck and nothing would stop it until I turned off the engine.
