Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Lexus LS

This vehicle stalled while driving on a highway without any sign or warning. On some occasions the vehicle will not stop. I reported this to Lexus company / manufacturer.

When driving, slowing to make a turn, putting foot back on gas. . . . Feels either like gear slipping or fuel injection slip. Makes quick catch and jumps. Also, when coming to stop, feels like stalling. Very scary.

While slowly making a turn with my foot on the brake my car surged forward. I tried to control the car by pushing my foot on the brake as hard as I could without success. I was able to stop the car from moving only by putting it on park. The surge was very sudden and uncontrollable. This is second time it happened. Please investigate.

I purchased my 2009 Ls460 in 2017 at Lexus of huntsville, al with 115k miles. It began having poor acceleration 1 month after I purchased it. I went back to the dealer and expressed my concern. They asked me to start using premium gas form the same station. Nothing changed and 3mo latter I moved to indianapolis and had my Lexus serviced at tom wood Lexus of indianapolis. I asked them to do a full diagnostic for repairing the now dangerously low acceleration. Tom wood changed and checked fuel filter fuel lines fuel injectors air intake mass airflow air filter reflashed ecm cost me 2 separate visits, 10+ days in a loaner vehicle and $800+ and the issue behind what was causing the low acceleration was never found. So I filed my first complaint case with Lexus corporate and they denied my claim in that it was no longer under their powertrain warranty. Despite my effort to simply request and state that I purchased my Lexus at a Lexus dealer and it has been maintained by a Lexus dealer. I ought to be able to rely on Lexus (especially an Ls on of their high end designs) to be of reasonable quality, fit for safe use as an automobile. The liability for defects of the engineering of the internal mechanics and any future wrecks or injuries caused by the engineering defect is Lexus� liability. Just trying to have a safe vehicle for my family. Well that got me nowhere with Lexus. Now my job has me lining in louisiana and I tried a second time and took my Ls460 to price leblanc Lexus of baton rouge. Their service team was fantastic and their tech let me know that this is a known issue with Lexus and that I'd need to replace all cylinder heads and values. Total cost being $13-15k. That is more than the value of the vehicle. I have filed a second complaint and repair request with Lexus corporate and am being told the same line as before. Not their problem.

My 2008 Lexus Ls600hl has a defective brake actuator. Lexus is aware of the issue on these cars and put out a warranty enhancement on the actuator but only for certain Ls that fall within a certain VIN# range. My vehicle VIN did not make it into the warranty enhancement but is experiencing the issues stated in the enhancement letter down to the t. All started yesterday when I almost totaled out because the brakes completely failed when I was driving on the highway at 50mph. Lights came on the dash and I could not stop the vehicle. I was able to run onto the shoulder of the road while downshifting the car to slow it down eventually getting it to a stop with minimal damage to my car. Found out later after getting it towed it needs a brake actuator. I am under the 150,000 warranty enhancement (I am at 125,000) mark but my VIN is not on the repair enhancement list so I cant get it repaired under the warranty. This should of affected by years not by VIN specification. I need this fix and Lexus wants $4000 for something that should be covered under warranty enhancement.

(hesitation on acceleration) this morning going to work l notice that the car wasn't acting right. I was at the yield left turning lane was turning right before other incoming car come. As I was turning the acceleration didnt go no where as it feel like the car was going up a very high hill. I was so scare that another car coming stright and hit me and some how the acceleration just pick up and start going as it has no power to it. The only reason why im reporting this is because this is a very and could be an dangerous problem not to myself but other to and I have search up this problem on the web and there alot iof people that have this problem beside me. Is there anything your can do to resolve this problem? I dont want to have to drive an Lexus and have to deal with this headache.

Pulled car into lined parking space, placed car in park, turned car off (keyless ignition "Smart key" on dash turned to left/off position, about to get out of car, just started to take seat belt off when car started up, went uncontrollably forward over cement parking barrier and cement walkway and hit parked vehicle on other side of lot, all the while shifter in park position and foot on brake, tried to keep car straight, but would not respond and veered to the right. After this first impact shifter slipped from park to reverse on own and car went backwards again over cement barrier and walkway and hit car behind and finally came to rest. In going backwards brakes did not again respond. This was experienced and witnessed by two other passengers inside the car, tow truck personnel also noted that afterwards, when placed in neutral to put on flatbed, car shifter had tendency to go to reverse or forward gear. Police report stated that "it appears that a vehicle malfunction could have been the cause of the crash".

When trying to stop my 1998 Lexus Ls 400 in my garage this morning, the car surged forward. I slammed the brakes on even harder and the car surged even more forward. The wheels were spinning and I finally got the car totally stopped. I took it to the dealer after the incident and they were unable to find anything wrong.
