This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I recently purchased a 2002 Lexus ES 300 and not much to complain about the inside etc. The acceleration and throttle though are a major problem. I almost got into a car accident getting onto 95 trying to pass a semi because the accelerator " pauses" when I step on the gas pedal. After the pause it starts to accelerate so I barely made it without hitting the semi. This really concerns me and want Lexus to do something about it. Its just plain unsafe.
Upon acceleration in stop-and-go traffic, severe hesitation with brake-like effect, engine reviving, with driver thrown forward, then lurching into gear. Said was fixed with installation of tsib TC004-3. narrowly being missed by oncoming traffic when car basically stalled. Tsib not a fix. Now engine light on. Dangerous in stop-and-go traffic.
