Steering: car pulls to the right when travelling above 50mph. Done 4 wheels alignment at Lexus dealership already but the problem still persists. Technician said the steering rack is the problem but refused to acknowledge that it's the common issue with this car! brakes: the 2-piece rotor makes clicking noise at low speed. The break pads make loud squeal noise every time the paddle pressed. This is a very common issue with Lexus 2 piece rotors but Lexus refused to acknowledge.

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?.

Safety recall sent may 22 2014 regarding brake pedal load sensing switch. After several calls and attempted appointments Lexus states they do not have the part to fix the defective device and I need to wait until part is available. Currently 8 months and counting without a fix in place.
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.

Continued problem with the brakes loud growling noise when light foot pressure is applied or let up and the car is stopped. Was informed by the dealer that is normal for all new Lexus models. It appears to me that the dealer does not want to address the problem.
