Lexus Es350 2007 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10192384 LEXUS ES350 2007 car safety problem was reported on June 01, 2007.LEXUS ES350 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . here is the description i gave my local lexus dealer along with the photographs of the witness marks of the impact to the door. lexus is evaluating the car. i have asked for a factory assisted replacement car of a different model. they have not responded yet: dave, attached is the extract from the nhtsa on this problem with the es350 model along with the measurements on the garage door and photos of the car. there is the description: i was watching my wife slowly (3-5 mph) approach our garage door when the car suddenly lurched forward and crashed into our garage door at 10-15 mph. my wife said her foot was hovering over the brake after transitioning from the throttle as the car was coasting toward the door. she jammed on the brake but couldn't get it stopped fast enough to keep from hitting the door. i'm a licensed professional mechanical engineer and own a drive a ferrari f355 spider for fun so i am very familiar with how a car suspension and body angle responds to acceleration and braking. it looked to me like the car launched but was immediately forced into a nose down attitude as my wife was desperately trying to stop. unlike like the audi problem of a few years ago had she mistakenly hit the throttle she would have never been able to hit the door in a nose down attitude and there wouldn't have been time to take her foot off the gas and onto the brake - as a result - it had to be an uncommanded acceleration. the car launched in a way that would be consistent of at least 2500 rpm minimum. i made some very careful witness mark measurements on the broken garage door and the impact point for the license plate screw is 3/8 of an inch lower than its normal free standing height on the car indicating she must have had her foot on the brake by the time of the impact thus ruling out the audi scenario. make no mistake this is not the floor mat problem and we restarted the car to confirm the cruise control was off. *tr .Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 13000 miles.

Lexus Es350 2007 Electrical System IgnitionLexus Es350 2007 Electrical System Ignition Review #10193309 LEXUS ES350 2007 car safety problem was reported on June 13, 2007.LEXUS ES350 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION . i do not own the 2007 lexus es 350 or the toyota camry but in the course of test driving both of the vehicles, i was shocked to discover that the "start/stop" button defeats the older ignition key interlock system. in the older keyed ignition system the car must be in park to turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition. in the 2007 models of lexus and camry the engine can be turned off with the vehicle in drive simply by touching the brake--there is no ignition key to place in the steering column.. please read the following which i sent to your site this morning and was asked to file a formal complaint: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 toyota camry and lexus es 350 do not use an ignition key. they use a "remote" which must be in close proximity to the vehicle when the "start/stop" button is pressed. other manufacturers (bmw, volvo) use both a "key" in the steering column and the "start/stop" button. while this second option at first seems redundant, it is a safety feature and toyota/lexus products may be prone to "rolling when stopped" in the following scenario: toyota/lexus: driver touches brake and hits the "start/stop" button to turn off the engine, but driver forgets to move the transmission from "drive" to "park". upon releasing the brake the vehicle will move, if not on level ground. bmw/volvo: as above, but driver is unable to pull "key" from steering column because vehicle is not in "park". therefore, driver places transmission in "park" before exiting the car, otherwise he will not have the vehicle "key" with him on leaving the car, thereby avoiding the problem of vehicle moving because it is mistakenly left in "drive" on exiting the car. in summary: redundancy (key/start-stop) button serves a useful safety purpose and should be incorporated into the toyota/lexus products. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Lexus Es350 2007 problem was reported in ST.

(my cruise control had always been a fluke, one week prior i had experienced and dismissed a brief episode with my cruise control) only good brakes and my husband?s skill saved us from a horrific outcome. i reported the incident on this site 3/27/08. the vehicle was towed to englewood (nj) lexus. yesterday, the service manager there gave contradictory evidence that it was the mats. since a large ice-coffee spilled during the incident, my husband and i examined the mats to mop up the spill before the car was towed away and saw that the mats were in their correct position. in no way were they stuffed under the brakes and lodged on the accelerator as he stated at first. it is unconscionable to me that an extensive examination of the cruise control mechanism has not performed. inskip lexus (ri), where we bought the car, has agreed to have car towed and will examine problem. i am terrified to drive the car again unless the problem is resolved. the problem of runaway acceleration has been reported in numerous cases on this site and other consumer sites about toyota/lexus. many owners do not agree with diagnosis of mats being the culprit. ???question: is toyota/lexus the new audi???? *tr [see also 10228954 & 10230929]*smch .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 13300 miles.

(2) lexus should police its dealer. require them to provide customers with correct, accurate information and, most importantly, to honor legitimate warranty requests. *tr.Mileage was 30515 miles.

(www.tirerack.com) as a consumer, i have no way of knowing the real cause of this failure. and i'm not sure how dangerous it is to continue to drive using this tire. once the tire is removed and replaced i will have no way of ever knowing if this was my fault or a manufacturing defect. for this reason i am hesitating to have the tire replaced immediately. please advise. *tr.Mileage was 73000 miles.

Lexus Es350 2007 Structure Review #10598561 LEXUS ES350 2007 car safety problem was reported on Apr 25, 2013.LEXUS ES350 2007, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with STRUCTURE . in april of 2013, i noticed that the dashboard of our lexus had small tears or cracks on it. it looked like someone had stuck their fingernails into the dashboard. i thought it was odd since neither my husband nor myself had done such a thing. over the next several months, as the weather became hotter in florida, our dashboard (for lack of a better word) began to melt. it became very sticky and began to cause visual problems on the windshield due to the reflection/glare from the melting dash. my husband called lexus in july 2013 to explain the issue and the safety hazard it was creating. he asked for the dashboard to be replaced, citing there had to be a defect. we had never experienced this issue with any other car we have owned and we have owned 9 cars over the years, all in florida's hot sun. for a couple of months we got the run around from lexus. the final decision was that lexus would replace our dash at a reduced cost because our car was out of warranty and our issue was an isolated problem that they had never seen before. it was their opinion that we had done something to our dash to cause this. we of course knew we did not! we refused to pay for a new dash, so we have dealt with the inconvenience for almost a year. recently, i saw a segment on our local news about other cars having this same issue. the news organization urged consumers to follow the link to your website and issue a complaint, so this issue can be recalled and fixed. please issue a recall for all vehicle make and models that have this issue. it is a safety issue because the reflection blocks my field of vision when i drive the car on a bright sunny day. i have pictures that were sent to lexus with our original complaint. they not only show the stickiness but the viability issue. please contact me if you need to see them. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBJ46G372.
