| 2008 lexus is250 awd had pulled into a parking space on a slight incline and stopped. when the operator tried to put the vehicle into park the engine revved and car moved violently forward climbing an eight inch curb to hit a concrete column on the front of an office building. the driver had their foot off the gas and applied the brake to no effect, when the driver moved the gear shift into neutral the car returned to normal and the driver was able to back off the column in reverse and park the vehicle. have turned the car over to lexus and a factory field representative is scheduled to examine. car is at toyota knoxville body shop. *tr | |||

| Currently have a 2010 lexus is250 awd (bought on 2/9/2010) and noted on several occasions that the rpms increase randomly after the car has stopped and is stationary. the car inches forward and the driver has to apply more pressure on the brake pedal to make sure the car doesn't lurch forward and hit the car in front. the rpms go up almost 1000 rpms from idling. happens in d and r. when turning on car putting the gear r the car just lurches backwards unless the brake pedal is heavily depressed. this seems to be a software / ecm issue as the accelerator pedal is not being inadvertently being pressed. as this car is not even one week old, i want to return the car. can you please help me with this? *tr | |||

| Daily driver of the vehicle for two years was easing into a parking space and applying the brakes when vehicle surged forward over a curb eventually crashing into a tree. after the vehicle went over the curb it went through a chain link fence and down a steep embankment leading to a great deal of chaos and confusion as to whether the brakes continued to be applied, but the driver is confident that the brakes were being applied when the initial surge occurred. the driver's spouse experienced a similar event about a month earlier when driving about 2 mph down a long driveway. in this instance the engine revved to a higher speed when the brakes were applied but the brakes did stop the car before the engine speed returned to normal. *tr | |||
