general problems of the 2010 Lexus ES350

Happened in a residential neighborhood. In motion to make a turn around from the main street into a side street. I wanted to head back the direction from where I had just been. I was moving very slowly because of the small turning radius. I was just turning into the very opening of the side street. Upon curving into the "u" of my turn the car fiercely propelled forward. It felt like it was attempting a "0 to 60" launch. I looked at my foot in disbelief that I may have been on the gas pedal . No. . . My foot was on the brake. My car crashed into a large rock/boulder residential landscape that stopped it. I shut my engine off. Passenger side rear wheel was off the ground. Front right was elevated on top of rocks. I was fine. Very shaken and in disbelief of the rapid launch and situation. Rapid car had to be towed. Exterior damage. Underside damage as well.

Dashboard is melting and becoming sticky/tacky and shiny causing decreased visibility on sunny days.

I was backing car out of driveway when all of a sudden car accelerated hitting curb, ran up an embankment and crashed into neighbors front steps. This is the first time it ever did that. It appears that throttle must have stuck close to maximum acceleration as car climbed up a 10-12 foot embankment and hit neighbors brick front steps with such force it picked rear wheels right off the ground.

I am still waiting for the takata airbags (about 1. 5-2 yrs) to be replaced due to the recall but dealer just says nothing can be done until airbags are received. In addition, my dashboard has been melting for the last three years and now has become a safety issue because the glare blocks my line of vision during the day and at night due to the reflection of the lights. I told the dealer about this issue as well as Lexus customer service but I am just told that 2010 is not included in the recall campaign. I have been unable to take an accurate picture because the glare/line of vision blockage is hard to see.

The contact owns a 2010 Lexus Es350. The contact stated that it took the vehicle three to four minutes to slow down when he took his foot off the accelerator pedal. The failure occurred at any speed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was told that there was nothing wrong. The contact also stated that the navigation system did not function properly. The failure mileage was 0 and the current mileage was approximately 15,600. Updated 01/31/11 updated 02/03/11 updated 02/14/11.
