| On feb.6,2010 @10:00am driving on my residential street, at a speed between 25 to 35 mph. i was coming to a stop sign on my street . as i began to brake to stop at the sign, which was a three way stop. my car at first seem to slide due to the snowy road a slippery condition. as i further hit the brakes, the car accelerated through the stop sign across the street over the curb onto the sidewalk and into my neighbors yard. i was within 25 to 50 feet of hitting my neighbors house. this incident happened so fast and without any warning that something was wrong. since this happened i took my car to classic lexus and the service department gave my lexus a full inspection and no incident of this nature has happened since 2-6-10. the incident left me completely shaken and nervous for several weeks. i have just this day been able to sit down and put my words of the incident on this paper. *tr | |||

| Purchased car in feb 2008 from lexus of pembroke pines fl, and immediately had brake concerns. returned to dealer and was informed that there was no problem. brakes began to screech consistently everytime the vehicle would brake. around 13k miles, returned to dealer. this time the brakes were replaced.this time they feel spongy and not consistent when brake pedal is applied brakes continued to screech as i backup and brake at traffic lights i figured the noise was due to the brakes being brand new. i noticed a large amount of heat coming from the passenger front brake area, when i looked down my entire rotor was bright red like it was on fire. i have two small children that i transport to and from school everyday and this defect in the braking system is unacceptable and could cause a major accident. *tr | |||
