On December 21,2015 there was a car that ran a red light and hit my car damaging the entire front end of my car. The airbag on my driver side deployed but not on my passenger side. My car was in motion going about 30mph on a city street and the guy that hit me was making a left turn.

The contact owned a 2007 Lexus GS 350. While driving approximately 5 mph, flames appeared from the front passenger side of the vehicle without warning. The contact pulled over and the entire passenger side was engulfed in flames. The fire department responded and extinguished the fire. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was not diagnosed; however, the vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 134,000.

I was pulling into a parking space, driving very very slowly, about 1 or 2 mph, and my vehicle experienced unintended acceleration, bolting forward very abruptly. I was able to stop the car by applying extreme pressure on the brake for a few seconds. The dealership reviewed the car and said there was nothing wrong. They suggest that I might have stepped on the brake and accelerator at the same time, which they did to replicate the experience. However, now that I have had opportunity to consider that, I don't think I could have effectively pressed both simultaneously to achieve that abrupt acceleration. If that were possible, and it happens mostly in Lexus and Toyota, is it a design flaw which might enable that?.

My car had several recalls on it I just recently started getting mail on the recall I got the first letter in Feb and the second at the end of March and it had to do with 3 parts valve spring , actuator, valve varient timing the week after I got my 2nd recall letter my car just stopped working when I filled it with gas, but 2 days before that I was driving then vsc, engine , abs lights all came on and I lost power with no acceleration ,I took it to Toyota and it was diagnosed and I was told I needed the recall items (3) replaced, I then was directed to take it to Lexus and they refused to honor the recall and the parts that caused my car to break down. The recall parts which they wont replace I was told it was out of warranty and to many miles . So I was told I have to get the parts fixed that were on recall in order for them to look at the car I spoke to corporate mrs judy combs she asked bobby rahal if they can assist with getting my car fixed because of the recall items and they declined instead I got a bill for 5427. 00 if I wanted it fixed. And the service guy [xxx] told me the reason the car broke down is because of the recall items and he would love to fix it but his manager said no. So Lexus refused to honor the recall and I have to get my car fixed in order for them to look at it. I was sent a invoice that said Lexus the corporate office declined to help but it was the actual dealer that declined to replace the recalled parts. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Three times in the last week I have experience a dangerous hesitation in accelerating at a low speed after applying the brakes. No matter how hard I press down on the accelerator, the car does not respond.

2009 Lexus GS 350. Consumer stated the first time he experienced sudden acceleration, he was pulling out of his driveway, when the vehicle surged forward uncontrollably. He applied the brake, but could only stop the vehicle by putting the transmission gear into neutral. Fortunately, there was adequate space and time to take action and avoid an accident. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The second event took place nearly a year later, as the consumer was pulling into a parking space, when the vehicle suddenly surged forward uncontrollably. I'm quoting an excerpt from another report that I found documented on your website which is almost the exact same history as mine. The only difference is the last and most recent episode resulted in a minor crash. I was going to work in phila on a tues morning at about 6:45 when I saw the car in front of me stopping for a red light and proceeded to brake, only to have the car lurch forward when I had my foot fully depressing the brake and the speed had already declined to about 5 miles per hour. My front bumper made contact with the rear of the car in front and after coming to a complete stop, again surged forward to hit the car a second time. Both drivers got out to examine if there was any damage and finding none except for a possible minor scratch to the rear bumper of the car I hit, we decided not to file a police report. The weather that morning was bitterly cold but the recent snow fall in phila had been cleared and the road was dry. I reported the incident to Lexus and an incident report was filed with Toyota who sent an investigator to recover the edr which I have on a thumb drive and is being analyzed by Toyota. Dealership service dept could not replicate the problem but assured me the car was safe to drive. I'm requesting an independent review of the data.

The contact owns a 2007 Lexus Gs350. The contact stated that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign id number 13v395000 (engine) however, the contact was not able to have the vehicle serviced under the recall because the part needed for the repair was not available. The manufacturer was notified but could not provide an expected date for the remedy part to become available. The contact had not experienced failure.

I received an urgent safety recall from Lexus/ Toyota motors regarding a no-charge replacement for a 2gr-fse intake vvt actuator gear. When I contacted Lexus, they indicated that parts will not be available until March of 2014, (with no guarantee that they will have them at that point,) and that they would place my name on a waiting list. I find it unacceptable that I'm informed of a dangerous safety issue, then told I have to wait 4+ months for resolution. What is an acceptable amount of time that a manufacturer has to provide parts/ materials and perform repairs? please advise.

I purchased a new Lexus GS 350 2013 and it just made it over 10k miles and I have already been stranded in my house with no car 2xs. The battery has died and the car would not move. No lights were left on and on both occasions Lexus said the same. Here I stand inside my house with no vehicle. From one day to another - I had no car. Its needless to say that I pay a "generous" amount of $$$$$ a month; therefore, I would have not expect this from Lexus. Maybe kia. Who knows anymore.

Lexus GS 350 surge problems is temporarily eliminated by removing negative on battery cable for five minutes. At this point the computer seems to reset and auto will drive normal for a while. This tells me that perhaps other complaints for Toyota, Lexus are related to electronic throttle. I learned how to do this from Lexus mission viejo California dealership service. The store was owned by Toyota at the time, the carlsbad California Lexus says they will not do this to stop surge but it works so why do they deny it???? I have to do this constantly. I did have an accident right after dealer worked on surge issue.
