I was pushing the brake pedal, when I touched the button. I was startled and attempted to stop the vehicle with all my strength by braking the brake pedal.

1. At [xxx] on [xxx], I was pulling into my gym's parking lot, when I stepped on the break to park my car, instead of stopping, the car accelerates rapidly and crashed through the other side of the sidewalk where there were light pole and cement walls, throwing me forward and backward with seat belt on, I was in total shock! 2. My insurance sent a field inspector to the body shop 2x in hope to repair my car but ended up declaring it a total loss. 3. Lexus said they would send a field tech to get the edr (event data recorder) data from my 2018 Lexus Rx350 within 30 days, but the results won't be available for 30-45 days after that. Lexus's slow response to this accident concerns and disappoints me b/c it was a serious crash that Lexus should treat it seriously and promptly. 4. The disbelief of a 'young' car with only 12297 miles could have issues like this puzzled me and drove me to do a lot of online research, then I came across this site [xxx] which contains an article titled '10 common problems of a Lexus Rx350'. Problem #5 described exactly what had happened to 'one recurring problem this car has is that the system malfunctions severely. This typically happenes when the driver is trying to park the vehicle. Reports paint the same pictures repeatedly: the driver is pulling into a parking lot, they push the break pedal, and instead of stopping, the car acelerates rapidly, which results in a crash. " based on this article, it seems that Lexus should have issued a recall, but no! 5. The strange thing was that no airbags were exploded/activated, yet the vehicle was damaged to beyond repair, it makes me wonder if there was an issue with the airbags too. If this incident had occurred at an intersection, I dare not imagine the outcome. . . I could have been killed or critically injured along with other innocent people on the road. I am very traumatized by the whole experience and sadly, the feeling seems to have gotten worse as time goes. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5.

Suddenly , without provocation, the car propelled backwards and as much as I pumped the brakes, the car continued to hurl backwards full speed. I crashed into another car in my driveway, and finally got the car to stop after suffering a lot of damage. Thank you.

October 20, '23 our recent dead stop! whistle blower! did you know that when the alternator goes out on a Lexus, that the car draws down energy from the battery to keep the car going? that's only for about a mile or so, then the car shuts down! you can't steer and the engine stops running and you have no power as you come to a dead stop, whether on the freeway, or one lane mountain pass road, where we would have been later. What would we have done? scary! luckily, our Lexus stalled on a city street nearing our on-ramp to the freeway. (needing to be towed. ) Lexus has a serious engineering-defective-design-flaw that probably is responsible for accidents. Thanks, doug. Pass it on pleas!.

Was driving into the garage (coasting) very slowly and as I was preparing to step on brake the car revved forward unsuspectedly - I have a video on my ring door bell and you can hear the engine then the squealing of the automatic braking system. I destroyed the adult 3 wheel bicycle that was stored along the wall but that helped the vehicle from crashing through the bricks - I remember shouting “what the hell is happening”. After much research as I knew I did not depress the accelerator in error - I found that this has been a common occurrence with Toyota and Lexus products. I am a very careful driver and I have replayed the incident in my head over and over. I presently dont have the insurance and repair information readily available.

As I was pulling in a business center to park, I step on the brake but the car would not stop. The accelerator continues and caused my car to run into a power box at a business. This caused the business to have a power outage for the entire day. The weather was clear. It was 11:30am. There was no car around the parking lot many spaces were emptied. Im very fortunate that the car ran into the power box otherwise the car would have driven itself into the street! I'm a great driver for more than 20+ years and no tickets or accidents. Insurance carrier had declared as total loss due for the impact. Airbags did not deployed.

The transmission was rebuilt on 11/15/13 at 242,600 miles and has gone out again at 250,379. Many others on the internet have had similar problems with their Rx300 transmissions. My brother also has an Rx300 and his transmission failed too. The planetary gears are often the problem. There should be a recall by Lexus to deal with this defective design.
