| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Intermittently, but not often, when taking my foot off of the gas, the car would increase in speed and the engine would speed up, but would quit when i braked. when accelerating to pass vehicles, i noticed that on occasion the engine would hesitate and then grab suddenly and then shoot off, but would slow down when i took my foot off of the accelerator. on april 20 my car had about 2,300 miles on it when i gave the car some gas to get up to speed to enter the busy freeway. as soon as i did the accelerator locked and felt like it was in passing gear. it was at 85 mph while braking as i entered the freeway. the engine was revving loudly after i got it into neutral. after about mile, it slowed enough so i shoved it into park but it would not shut off. as it finally did disengage, the engine was still revving at a high speed while entire car shuttered, shook and made loud noises. i kept my feet on the brake while i called lexus 24 hour road service. i was very lucky that no one was injured. the car has been at lexus for 11 days at this point. *tr |
