I have complained to the Lexus dealership as well as sonic about this dashboard. My warranty was valid my first several complaints, pictures were taken by a Lexus rep and sent to corporate. At that time corporate denied complaint I personally called and a rep told me that they have received calls in regards to melting sticky dashboard and they having this problem with people that live in hot humid climate. I was in disbelief that the rep told that to me. I asked the rep who makes a car based on climate weather I live in alabama and in the summer with the sun beaming on dashboard can possibly cause a car accident. Safety saftey has been my main concern this is dangerous. They called me and said they worked pay 20% then a couple days later said 20% only towards parts.

Complaints regarding 2007 Lexus is 250: 1. Steering wheel sticks when turning to the right. This occurs 3-5 times per week and has almost caused several accidents and collisions. 2. When applying pressure on the brake, the car jumps forward and accelerates. This occurs 2-5 times per month. This has nearly caused me to rear end other cars on several occasions. 3. Car flutters and stalls when reversing. ( car is an automatic) car also flutters when stopped at a red light or stop sign. Car does this when its hot or cold. This occurs 5-10 times per month. I have taken my car to the Lexus dealership several times for the above issues, and they have done nothing. These issue occur very frequently and the dealer seems to not be able to "find" any problems. I have received a recall notice for an acceleration issue, and was instructed to remove my floor mat. Nothing else has been done and the dealer has been no help. I am concerned that these issues will harm or even kill myself or my family and or another driver or family on the road.

I received a notice from Lexus a couple of months ago that my Is250 would be recalled due to'potential floor mat interference with accelerator pedal'. I called the dealership about two weeks ago. I was told that the recall for this problem had not started yet. In the letter, it states that I should contact you if Lexus had not remedied this problem in a reasonable time. I feel that they have not. I appreciate your assistance in getting Lexus to complete the necessary recall work on my car.

I was driving my wife's Lexus 2008 is 250 out of a parking lot when applying my foot on the brake the car accelerated. I now slammed my foot on the brakes and the car continued to accelerate. The only thing that stopped my car was the car in front of it with very little damage. If the car was not in front of me I was accelerating faster into on coming traffic. My floor mat is not on the floor as after the san diego incident that was Toyota's reasoning. We were told roughly a month and half ago to take the mat out, which I did right away. They can deny it all they want this car was accelerating and getting faster when applying the brake. The policeman at the scene instructed us to not drive this vehicle and to get a loaner which we did. The car was picked up and sent to Lexus in freehold. First we were told nothing is wrong and they test drove it and such. They were keeping it for 3 days now they are telling us they are keeping it for 3 weeks. There are reports all over the web on this with over 2000 complaints. It is obvious there is a major defect in their computer system. They really need to stop covering this up as 16 people have died. Fyi, this has happened to people in Lexus loaners and loaners do not have floor mats. Again, luckily the car was only 15 feet in front of me what if it was 100 ft!.

I had just got onto the highway and my car started accelerating and would not stop. All of the lights started flashing on the dashboard such as the brake light. I immediately removed the floor mat. Luckily, since no one was on the highway I was able to pull into the shoulder although my car was still accelerating and put it in park even when I was in park the engine continued to rev up. I turned the car off and called for a tow truck. The Lexus dealership said they did not find any problems with my car and they thought it was the mat. I have not had another problem since then.

Hi, with all the news lately regarding the problems with "sticking" gas pedals on certain Toyota models, I wanted to emphasize that I don't believe the problem is limited to toyotas. I had e-mailed you previously to describe similar problems my wife and I have had with our 2006 is 250, where the car felt like it wanted to lurch forward with our foot on the brake pedal. Additionally, the tachometer needle was fluctuating while this was happening. Our car even died once at a stop light for no apparent reason. There is a record of our taking the car into putnam Lexus for inspection of this problem. We never did receive a response from Lexus to our first e-mail. And, we do not feel that a creeping floor mat was the cause of the problems we were experiencing. We feel that the problems we've described need to be investigated further since it is safety related. I just tried four times to send this description to Lexus through their online e-mail system but kept getting, "operation failed, illegal parameters. ".

Back on may 21, 2009, I pulled out of my driveway in my 2006 Lexus Is250 and the accelerator immediately became stuck down forcing my car to go almost 55 mph down a winding hill. At this point the brakes also did not work and I simply had to wait for everything to begin working again. I was extremely lucky this happened at night and nobody was in front of me because this is a main road. I contacted Lexus the next day who informed it was just my floor mat and to remove the extra mat immediately. While I did not agree due to the way both the accelerator pedal and brakes felt completely locked in place, I did as they said. Now with the recent recall on Toyota models, I called Lexus again who informed me that in about 3 months I will receive a recall notice and that in the mean time I can come in and have a tech test drive it with me for "peace of mind". I would like to understand why this car has not been included and publicly announced in the recall when they are fully aware of the dangers! being told the "part" needed to to correct the problem (both the accelerator and the brake system) is not yet being manufactured for my model is unacceptable and in the meantime I am trying to not drive my vehicle and have this experience again.
