Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased 2007 lexus es 350 in december of 2006. sometime in last month, when i was driving the vehicle on a highway, its brake stopped working all of a sudden, and started accelerating by itself. i looked at my foot wondering if my foot was on gas pedal, instead of brake pedal, but it was on brake pedal. i was in a total panic, but managed to drove the car away to the shoulder of the highway by putting the car in park mode. i thought i was dead at that moment. i am trying to sue the lexus. i honestly believe that car will kill someone. before starting a legal proceeding, my attorney sent a letter to lexus headquarter, and was told that the vehicle had no problem, and that the cause was the floor mat. but, it was not. as i said earlier, i looked at my foot when the vehicle did not stop, and after i stopped the car, i carefully looked at both gas pedal and brake again. i am not blind. have you seen any other complaints for similar problems? please let me know. it will be really helpful for me to win the case. i am not trying to make money by suing lexus, but trying to have lexus recall all of its es 350 since it will kill someone. *jb
