| Bought lexus es300 in 1994. kept for car for 5 years. even brand new it would occasionally lunge forward when my foot was on the brake. reported the problem to dealership over and over; wrote letters; kept complaining about this sporadic lunging forward of the car but i was not even taken seriously. at a stop light i would have to stay 10+ feet behind the car in front just in case my lexus lunged forward even with my foot on the brake. i finally got rid of this car since i felt it was a not safe and the dealership nor the company took me serious about this racing of the engine and the lunging forward. *tr | |||
