Vehicle started to accelerate while consumer was in traffic at a constant speed or 25-30 mph. Contacted dealer, and the dealer could not duplicate the problem, this problem occurs at least one a week.

Vehicle accelerated at slow speeds of 25 mph , and engine revved. This has happened 4 times. Took vehicle to dealer who could not remedy situation.

For the sixth time, vehicle accelerates or surges. This time at 2 mph, but it has also happened at 45 mph. It only lasts a second or two. Has happened 6 times in 15 months of ownership. Of course for this reason, dealer is never able to diagnose. I have observed 9 others similar citations at this website on the 1998-1999 Lexus Gs300. There are a total of only two for the same years of the Lexus es300, mercedes 320 and BMW 5-series combined. Please do something before someone is killed!.

Since I purchased the car in March 1998, I have had several serious safety problems. One problem that occurs periodically is that the car will accellerate from 2mph to 8/10mph with the slightest touch onthe accellerator (unintended accelleration). The second problem involves absolutely no accelleration from a stopped condition for up to three seconds. The car stands still and does not move at all.

1998 Lexus GS 300 has the same problem as the ES 300 throttle control. On several occasions I have been at a traffic signal and the vehicle accelerated and I presumed that I had somehow hit the pedal, when my foot was on the brake. Please investigate. Thanks.

At about 3:45 pm, I left my office in rosslyn to get to a dentist appointment. I was heading west on route 50 in the right lane, then moved to the center lane and floored the accelerator to pass a slow moving vehicle that was in the right lane. As I pulled back into the right lane, the car continued accelerating. I hooked my toe under the accelerator pedal to see if it was stuck in a down position. It was not.

While driving at speed of60- 65mph there is vibration in the front end. Also, steering wheel vibrates. Contacted dealer. And he replaced tires, and did an alignment. In addition, engine will surge and hesitate at times.

When pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle would intermittently lurch forward. The dealer could not determine the cause of the problem.

The pattern of the low beam does not project well and do not have a sharp cut-off. Too much light projects "up" in poor visibility conditions, such as fog. Fog lights are quite useless as well. The car has the worst head lights of any car I've had.

The driver encountered delayed acceleration. Yh.
