| Electronic Stability Control problems |
My wife was driving the car to pick-up our granddaughter from school on 10-22-2018. She made a full stop at the corner and took her foot off the brake and started to make a right turn. When she started to press on the gas pedal lightly, the engine revved up to full throttle and the car accelerated and lunged uncontrollably forward. Her steering wheel was locked. Because of this acceleration, she hit the car in front with great force and severely damaging our front end and the car bumper in front of her. She was getting get in line to wait for the school children to let out. Had her the car accelerated out of control when children were crossing the street, it would have been a great catastrophe and dead children. Something must be done to alert the public. Another sudden acceleration occurred when I was driving the car about 2 years ago. But the dealer said they couldn't find anything wrong. Our car has a little over 60,000. Each time I take my car to the dealer for an oil change, they removed the floor mat. They say the floor mat can get in the way of the accelerator pedal. I don't think so, but we keep the floor mat in the trunk. I have reported this issue to a Lexus headquarter in texas, (800) 255-3987. The representative said a case manager will be contacting me. I'm not sure what they will do. Something must be done to prevent running over people. There will be deaths if nothing is done!.
My check engine light is on and when the diganoised code check is performed "no codes appear," but I do have a power steering leakage and I hear the power steering noise when I am turning and from the recall 11v53900 11/09/2011 engine and engine cooling its a huge problem. I call customer service and they where no help! I called for servicing and they stated on my VIN there is no recall but on the NHTSA there pops up this recall so no cool. I am going to wait until something happens and sue the hell out of Lexus for refusing to service my vehicle and neglecting the issues when I called and all the calls are recorded. Trouble & horrible service I am not a satisfied customer. I guess you need to be in certain financial bracket to receive exceptional service.
The car was reversed and driven forward, suddenly accelerated forward. Applying brakes were not helping as acceleration still continued. There is no floor mat on the driver seat side to blame it on for gas pedal getting stuck to the mat. . The gas and brake pedals were adjusted to the highest level from the floor. Happened a week ago and happened again on 17/02/2018. First time the vehicle was on four lane city street. Second time on two lane city street. It can happen any time any where. I asked the dealer. No recall yet I see lot of people having this problem on this site. . Read more...
