On December 5th, 2012 around 1:50 pm in the afternoon, I drove the car to pick up our nephew from school. While I was slowing down and looking for a parking place suddenly the car sped up and accelerated! even though I applied hard on the brake the car kept running very fast and only stopped when it hit bushes and the house on the right of the road. I was lucky that no kids came out from school yet and no other cars were nearly so damages only caused to the car and the property.

I received a safty recall notice from Lexus indicating my engine crankshft pulley may loose and cause loss of power steering. I called Lexus and they said I had to take the vehicle to a Lexus dealer. Since there isn't a Lexus dealer in my hometown they informed me that the closest dealers were at least 150 miles from my home. I bought the car at a local used car dealership that is no longer in business. I asked if they could certify my local Toyota dealer to do the inspection and they said no. If this defect is on my vehicle it would be unsafe to drive 150 miles to get to their certified dealer. If there is an accident on my way to the inspection who is liable? they will be. I want them to accomodate me by certifying the local Toyota dealer to do an inspection for me.

Vehicle hesitates terribly upon acceleration. I've called dealer numerous times and was told "this is normal" until the last call. Now Lexus acknowledges the problem and offers a remedy! fort myers dealer recalibrated the ECM and urged use of name brand premium fuel only! since these two changes have been made, improvement has been made, but not eliminated. There is still something not correct about trying to merge onto a highway and having the engine bog down as trucks bear down upon you!

Caller says vehicle has several problems., brakes vibrated, and she had to pump them. Also, rear suspension problems, traction control problems, and cooling system problems in the engine.. vehicle was at dealer for 4 days the first time and they were unable to give her any information on the diagnostic test.
