| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving my new lexus es350 on the interstate in january 2007, the car suddenly accelerated out of control. as i applied the brake initially with one foot and then both feet. i also pushed the ignition button and tried everything i could think of to slow the vehicle-nothing seemed to help. the engine continued to power the car forward. eventually the car ran off the road into a snow bank. lexus and the dealer (lexus of portland maine) claimed they could find no problem with the car. we are hopeful for some type of resolution either from lexus or the dealer. we would be interested in hearing from others who have experienced similar problems with a lexus. *jb |
