2008 ES 350 surge --as I was gliding (no acceleration) into my parking space in front of my town home, my car suddenly surged forward, jumped the curb and crashed into my brick town home. I applied my to the brakes, and the car continued to surge forward. I called my Lexus dealer who said "this is impossible and could never happen and you just accidentally hit the gas pedal" . I did not hit the gas pedal. I had pictures taken of the crash, wrote a letter to Lexus of north amercia stating and requesting a different ES 350 (it is a leased car). I received a grammatically incorrect letter back from Lexus that was there no reason for the problem and that is essentially was my fault. I have a copy of the letter. . The Lexus gm of sales in alexandria denied that a surge could have happened and clearly is was my fault.
