Lexus ES 350 had uncontrolled accelerator causing speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour until car was forced out of gear. Without attempts to accelerate the car took over and sped out of control. Cruise control was not engaged and brakes would not slow the vehicle. I called 911 and they told me to put the car in neutral which caused the rpms to race out of control. The car then went into reverse by itself until I slammed it into park. The dealer came and picked up the car as it was unsafe to drive. Fortunately this occurred on the freeway and I had room to maneuver and miss cars and obstacles. Had this occurred anywhere else I would be in the hospital.
