general problems of the 2010 Lexus RX350

My farm is 1/2 mile off weld county road 16 in keenesburg colorado. There is a gravel drive around the house to a short concrete driveway in front of the garage. When we drive onto the concrete portion, we are angled north east toward the garage door and have to back up a short distance to head the car east to enter the garage. We drive very slow through the yard as we have animals to watch out for and make a slow entry towards the concrete driveway. As she turned around the house toward the driveway the car seemed to be going faster than normal and she took her foot off the accelerator and eased on the brake but the car did not slow and she felt the accelerator was pulling her forward faster than she wanted. The brake pedal did not slow the car. The car angled across the concrete driveway, narrowly missing the corner of the garage and struck a tree on the north side of the house. The impact did not deploy the air bag and my wife had no injury. Her seat belt was fastened until she shut the car off and exited the car. I notified usaa my insurer and later spoke to several mechanics about repairs and the problem my wife encountered just prior to the accident. One mechanic told me of a report of a situation much like this and said to call Lexus and see if there had been a recall on this make of automobile. I called a Lexus dealer in firestone colorado. I gave the VIN number to him and he said his records showed this model year had been recalled for a problem with the accelerator but no records showed repairs were made. I told him I purchased this 2010 model car in 2016 as a used car and had no way of knowing if there had been a recall. I have not taken the car to be repaired but an adjuster did make a report yesterday (Thursday June 6). I have no results but the adjuster said the damage was extensive and he was a bit surprised the airbag did not deploy.

I heard that there was a re- call also my roof makes a noise when o drive over 70 -80 miles and that not normal I got the car used so im not sure if there is warrwnty but my car only has 63000 miles.

Turning into a parking spot at a very slow rate of speed due to the congested nature of the shopping center. Pulled in with foot on the brake and started to put vehicle into park when the engine revd and the car accelerated very quickly over the curb and into the wall of the shopping center. I felt no control over the vehicle. Only issue with car since purchase were the brakes had to be resurfaced shortly after we got it. Witnesses in the car behind me waiting for me to park also stated that they were shocked to see the car launch forward as they saw that I was near a dead stop. Damage to front end but able to get car back home. Contacted park place Lexus in plano TX and service representative stated they would to it to the dealership for investigation. 30 mins after two truck left, sales person calls to tell me that they should not have towed it and he had specific instructions from lexas corp not to work on or open a repair ticket on a care reporting unintentional acceleration. I needed to call the main 800 number. Now have to get car back to house at my expense so the Lexus paid "independent investigator" can come look at the vehicle in 3-5 days. Mortified at the thought this could have killed someone walking along the sidewalk. Too many reports of this issue during parking events. Something needs to be done. Lexus has the opp to do the right thing. . . Let's see if they stand behind their vehicles. One or two instances is driver error. . . . Not enough to force Toyota to settle for billions rather than face a jury. Just saying. . . If I had any doubt about whether I hit the accelerator instead of the brake I wouldln't take the time to report this to a gov agency.

I was accelerating to merge on 4 line traffic and my car started suddenly to accelerate even when I was not pressing the accelerating pedal I tried to hit the brakes but it did not slow the car I push to neutral position hitting the brakes but the car was still going fast. I was going to an exit trying to stop the car keeping in neutral and hitting the brakes I was able to stop and shot the engine off.

I went out to grab a bite to eat for my daughter and I came to a stop light at a major intersection. I received the turn arrow so I accelerated thru the turn and then punched the gas to make it thru the next light that will turn red if you don't give it a little gas to get thru it. I make it thru the light and get in the right lane to slow down to make my turn and my brakes don't work and my car starts accelerating on its own. I have no control of the speed so I throw the car in neutral and keep slamming the brakes while the brake malfunction light appears. I’m not sure how my car slows down and I make a right turn into a parking lot and my engine is still sounding like it is accelerating and I am in neutral. My car rolled to a stop, I shut it down and called the Lexus line. The had a towing company out within an hour and the tow truck driver told me this is at least the 10th time he has hauled this type of car for the same thing.

On 1/21/12 as I was driving I slowed down preparing to brake for a traffic signal. A school bus was in front of us, stopped. As I stepped on the brake, the engine revved up and the car continued to move forward. I quickly put the car in park and turned off the engine. We were inches from the school bus. This should not have happened. It was frightening!! the problem occurred again about 10 minutes in a stopped position and the car continued to move forward. The tachometer went into the red zone. The dealer and manufacturer were informed. Updated ivoq 03/29/12.

We have bought Lexus RX 350, 2010. Vehicle skips gear on and off, particularly when in slow speed to when you try to raise speed. We took car back to dealer three time since than, they couldn't find any problem, but it is scary when all off a sudden vehicle jumps.

We had a 2010 Lexus 350rx. In Aug 2009, I was driving home and the car accelerated up to about 60mph. My husband was in the car with me. We were trying everything to stop the car. We finally got it stopped. It did it a second time with my husband driving the next day. We know without a doubt that it was not the floormat . Which that is what Lexus blamed it on. I would not drive that car again.

It's a Lexus RX 350 2010, the truck seems to accelerate or lurches forward with brief spurts of acceleration, the lapse in braking is probably less the a second. It happen while I brake to a full stop. I take the truck to two Lexus deal for concern, but they said, the vehicle is operating as designed, when they compared to same model vehicle. They also said that lurches is, the vehicle is preparing to shift into next gear so it's ready to shift to a different gear. Please review this incident so that I could get this off my mind.
