LEXUS IS 2009 car safety problem was reported on Sept 10, 2009.LEXUS IS 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . FOUR INCIDENTS OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. ON FOUR OCCASIONS THE 2000 LEXUS IS250 I PURCHASED ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2009 HAD UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF UP TO 5000 RPM.. THREE TIMES THIS OCCURRED WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN PARK; THE FOURTH TIME WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND IDLING. TWICE I HAD THE DEALER, THOUSAND OAKS, CA LEXUS, EXAMINE THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD NO DEFECT COULD BE FOUND. ON THE FOURTH OCCURRENCE I NOTICED MY FOOT WAS ON THE EDGE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR SIMULTANEOUSLY. I WEAR ONLY A SIZE 9 SHOE, HAVE BEEN A LICENSED DRIVER FOR OVER 65 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY EXPERIENCES SUCH AS THESE. I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT EITHER THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS ARE TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER OR THEY HAVE BEEN POSITIONED TOO FAR TO THE LEFT, THAT IS, TOO CLOSE TO THE STEERING COLUMN CAUSING ONE'S FOOT TO BE ON THE EDGE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. SINCE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAS BEEN REVEALED AS A PROBLEM WITH THE LEXUS, I SHALL APPRECIATED YOUR RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM I HAVE DESCRIBED.*TR THANK YOU. .Mileage was 900 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBK262195. Lexus Is 2009 problem was reported in WOODLAND HILLS, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

MAY OF 2009 - LEASED 09 LEXUS IS250; HAVING ONLY DRIVEN IT FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK WHEN ENTERING THE ONRAMP OF I-35 IN TEXAS, SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT CAR WAS ACCELERATING OUT OF CONTROL. THE CRUISE CONTROL LOCKED IN BY ITSELF. RPM WAS OFF THE CHARTS. I COULD NOT EXIT AT "MY" EXIT AND CONTINUED SOUTH ON I-35. I TRIED TO BRAKE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND TOLD HIM MY CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL. I KEPT TRYING TO BRAKE...STILL NOTHING. SOMEHOW THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW, I GOT ON THE SHOULDER AND KEPT GOING FOR 1-2 MILES. I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL...RPM'S AGAIN WERE OUT OF CONTROL. I THINK THAT THEN I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR INTO "PARK" AND PUSHED THE ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON AND WAITED FOR HELP. LUCKILY, I OR NO ONE ELSE WAS INJURED IN THIS INCIDENT. LEXUS ASSURED ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE FLOOR MATS, BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN FULLY CONVINCED. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED THAT ONE TIME, BUT HONESTLY, THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME. I TRIED TO TRADE THE CAR IN, BUT SALESMAN SAID IT WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA ($) SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. *TR.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBK262595.

LEXUS IS 2009 car safety problem was reported on Mar 12, 2009.LEXUS IS 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with PARKING BRAKE . I PURCHASED A HIGH END LEXUS ISF IN WHICH THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT WORK AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO. I RAISED MY CONCERNS WITH CROWN LEXUS IN SO CA WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE 5,000 MILE CHECK. THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE ON ANY TYPE OF INCLINE NOR WOULD IT STOP THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES TO CROWN LEXUS WITH NO SATISFACTION TO DATE. THEY EVEN FLEW A TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE IN FROM JAPAN TO INVESTIGATE. THEY TOOK PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE VEHICLES BRAKE SYSTEM, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED AN ENGINEERING ISSUE BUT HAVE TAKEN NO ACTION TO CORRECT. THIS HAS NOW BEEN OVER 8 MONTHS THAT I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO THEM. I WOULD ASSUME WITH ALL THE ISSUES TOYOTA IS GOING THROUGH, I HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE BACK BURNER. CONSIDERING THE COST OF THE VEHICLE AND THE USUAL ATTENTION I GET FROM LEXUS, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE PAID SOME ATTENTION TO THIS. I DON'T FEEL THAT IS THE CASE. I KNOW OF NO WHERE ELSE TO TURN TO HAVE THEM PAY THE ATTENTION THEY SHOULD HAVE MONTHS AGO. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT AS A RESULT OF ALL THE PROBLEMS TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING, THEY HAVE SHOVED THIS ONE ASIDE. THE FAILURE OCCURS CONTINUALLY. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM HELP!*TR .Mileage was 100 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBP262795. Lexus Is 2009 problem was reported in CHINO HILLS, CA.
