| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While merging onto i-40 interstate in my 3 month old 2007 es 350, i accelerated to 65 mph, but the car continued to accelerate on its own. the cruise light came on by itself. i disengaged the cruise, applied the brake with both feet, and shifted into lower gears, including neutral. i applied the emergency brake & shifted into reverse, as the car was now approaching 100 mph. i traveled almost 6 miles at 110+ mph with the gearshift in reverse before the brakes took hold. toyota motor co. denies this can happen, but this car needs to be recalled. i will never drive this car again and am thankful to be alive everyday. *jb updated 05/24/10 *bf updated ivoq 09/02/10*jb |
