May 9, 2017. At approximately 5:50 pm, I got in my car which was parked in a small outdoor parking lot. I started it and put it in reverse and the car took off. Even though I applied the brakes the car did not stop or slow down. It slammed into a parked 2016 mercedes with such force that the mercedes was left almost perpendicular with its space. Police were called and came to scene but because the parking lot is on private property, no report was filed. The owner of the other vehicle and I exchanged information.

While driving on the highway my car suddenly stop with no apparent reason at all. I tried to accelerate but it did not responded, eventhough the engine was running perfectly. Everything was working but the accelerator. When taken to the Lexus dealer they told me the problem was with the electronic control module. They told me it will cost me around $3,000. 00 to replace it. Is this normal for this car to happen or is it normal wear and tear?. We did not have an accident because it was early in the morning but it could be worse during heavy traffic hours.
