Continuation of my report. About a month later the same sudden acceleration occurred but in reverse as the driver was leaving her home and this time she could not stop the vehicle, going thru the concrete fence of her front neighbor taking a side of the neighbor house, down a hill and hitting two air conditioner units and an electrical generator, damaging the whole right side of the vehicle and the rear, braking the rear drive train and getting stuck in a concrete wall which save their life. If the vehicle would have gone 10 more feet it would have drop in an approximately 800 to 900 feet cliff and probably would have lost their lives. The vehicle was a total loss. According to the driver she put on her brakes and they did not work. According to the witnesses there was only one tire brake track on the road which it was gone by the time I went to investigate. My theory is that electric surges from this high intensity cables interfere with the throttle control and accelerate this vehicles. It is the only logical explanation. If there is a way to test this theory I sure would appreciate it. Please answer me as soon as possible. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Lexus Rx350 auto-acceleration. While pulling into a parking spot (at a slow speed) in a parking structure, the engine, without pressure on the gas pedal, suddenly reved up to high speed and accelerated into the wire retaining cabled and wall of the structure. The distanced traveled was less than 10 feet before the car was stopped by the retaining cables and the wall. The front end of the car and the structure were damaged. The impact was severe enough to break 5 of the 7 cables. The airbags did not deploy.
