general problems of the 2009 Lexus ES350

I put the car on d to drive. I stopped at a red light, I brake the car to stop. When the light turned green, I pressed on the gas pedal to drive forward, but the car reversed without me putting on r. The reverse go was slow. When it reversed, I tried to stop the car car by pressing on the brake pedal, but I could not stop the car that way. I had to turn off the car to stop the reverse. The car reversed like that both times sporadically on two consecutive days - on 11. 11. 2014 and on the morning of 11. 12. 2014. My car was under warranty. I brought it to the service of Lexus at longo on the evening of 11. 12. 2014, which is where the vehicle was bought. They found no problem with the car, charge me money, and gave the car back to me the next day. I believe that the car needs more investigation. I am afraid of the sporadic reversal of the car while it is on d. I am further afraid that at high freeway speed, the problem it could cause is even more dangerous.

My wife and I experienced an uncontrollable runaway of our new (3 weeks old and less than 200 miles) Lexus ES-350 car on 09/27/2009. The car was totaled. At time, both police and ambulance were called. And we were sent to the nearby shady grove hospital for checkup and treatments. Initially, I thought it could be because I mistakenly pressed the gas pedal, instead of the brake, when I tried to slow down the car preparing to make a left-hand turn onto rt. 28. Now, after I read all the recent Toyota/Lexus accident news reports, which specifically involved the Lexus ES series, I begin to belief it wasn't the case. And in fact, it was an uncontrollable runaway car, at the time. Because otherwise I would have naturally slowed down the car at the intersection and prepared to make the turn. Therefore, I shouldn't be the one who contributed to the accident; also considering the following:(1) I'm an experienced driver, and have driven all kind of brand and sizes of cars, and under various weather and road conditions since 1962; (2) the accident happened on the great sceneca hwy in gaithersburg. I've been living in this specific area since 1974; and going through all the community changes and expansions, including new road structures, and traffic patterns; (3) I've a superior driving record; and a 20/20 vision.
