One problem related to car accelerates on its own has been reported for the 2007 Lexus IS350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) approximately 1st week of January, 2010, auto demonstrated several periods of idling rough while stopped at traffic lights or stop signs. Beginning of 2nd week of January, 2010, I was driving my auto on a cold, dry day and stopped at stop sign and stopped at traffic light and auto demonstrated 2 episodes of unintended excessive acceleration lasting approximately 1-3 seconds, then immediately demonstrated approximately 30 seconds of unintended acceleration, and then resumed normal acceleration for 5-6 miles. The first episode of previous described acceleration issues, occurred after I had left my garage and drove for 1 mile. The second episode of previous described acceleration issues occurred after I had driven the auto for approximately 5-6 miles. On 01/13/2010, I took auto to dealer , for routine service and asked them to check acceleration issues that had recently occurred. Service tech no codes pending, current or in history. Sales manager said these issues could have been caused by my auto being parked in warm garage and then driving in cold weather. Note that my auto 2007 Lexus is 350 was on recall list and there was no driver floor mat in my auto at time of described acceleration issues. Lexus had advised me by letter to remove driver side floor mat. On 2/23/2010, I experienced identical acceleration issue as described previously. The weather was warmer than day of previous episode and roads were dry. I left my garage and drove 5-6 miles and stopped at stop sign. In the direction I was going the road was slopping slightly downhill at stop sign so I applied slight pressure to accelerator when proceeding through stop sign intersection. My auto demonstrated the same sequence as previously described acceleration issues. I did not have driver side floor mat. Tech found no problems. Dealer opened the case [xxx] & advised fts. I called Lexus customer service and was told someone would call me.
