1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2023

I was sitting at a complete stop for more than 45 minutes behind a fatality accident on the highway they had closed while occasionally removing foot from brake to inch forward a few feet a best and then stop again never touching the accelerator when I realized at one point traffic beside me was moving, I thought, it was my Rx 350 while pressing brake all the way to the floor with no resistance I attempted to put the car in neutral to see if it was slow me down as an upcoming crash was unavoidable. No brake assist, precollison warning or assist, no emergency braking, no resistance from brake pedal and ** warning lights came on at all prior to impact with the back of a stopped semi truck** and during the entire incident the speedometer remained at zero or moved a tiny bit off of zero as if it was pulsing somehow and the accelerator was never touched while car felt like I was being pushed from behind, randomly accelerating on its own before impact.

Failure Date: 05/26/2022

3 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2022

I was driving up a hill, turning on to a dirt road. I had my foot on the brake as I was going down hill, I bounce from the crevice on the dirt road. My car started going faster, I kept my foot on the brake trying to stop, but it did not stop. I avoided hitting a parked car and slammed in to a k-rail. My car would not stop.
