Electronic Stability Control problem #1

Electronic Stability Control problem #2

This SUV dash board lights come on when you driving. Check engine,vsc,abs,track off and another on ab symbol like a u down wherr the hot and cold. Ive saw water coming from the muffler.

Electronic Stability Control problem #3

My 2004 Lexus Rx330 is jumping all over the road, repair shop diagnostics show the ride height control and air ride struts have failed causing an unsafe condition, apparently Lexus was fully aware of the issue only making this model year with the air ride control and knowing the system will only last ten years before failure. I guess they figured after ten years most vehicles would have either installed the conversion kit or have been sold forward so many times that new owners would not pursue a safety recall. An entire industry has been created to deal with the issue retailing conversion kits so much so that my Toyota repair shop has suggested installing the conversion kit which they offer. My vehicle bounces when navigating turns and bumps, while sitting still the vehicle raises and lowers independent of anything manually initiated and side to side lifts and lowers.

Electronic Stability Control problem #4

The car has various issues, all of my lights are on the car and have been since ive purched the car. Its shut off as ive been driving several times, it wont reach its speed limit from accelerator, it knock and makes sounds and had an odor coming through vents. The company isn't consistent with repair and payment promises and is trying to repo for resale.

Electronic Stability Control problem #7

At approximately 4 in afternoon, I had come to a complete stop in front of my townhouse. My foot was still on the brake from stopping (I was just about to put it in park and take out key and unfasten seat belt) when it lurched forward and started to accelerate. I tried to steer and pump the brakes but nothing worked. It was totally out of my control. The car lunged forward going over the side walk and into my front porch, directly hitting my wrought iron bannister. The distance from the parking place to the bannister is about 10 feet. The car acceleration stopped on impact. I immediately called my insurance CO and I called the police and filled out a police report. I live across from our community swimming pool. Children are constantly walking on sidewalk in front of my house on way to pool. Neighbors walk by my house to walk their dogs as well. Someone could have easily been injured or killed. I have not driven the car since the event. Lexus USA and the dealership will not address the problem with me. I bought the car. . Used. . Only 6 months ago. My car was damaged in the front, and my wrought iron bannister was destroyed. My main concern is the fact that the car displayed unintended acceleration and is not safe for anyone to drive.
