| As i was parking my lexus in a parking lot, the car suddenly shot forward, moving over the parking cement barrier and crashing into a wall. the car was repaired. after i received the recall notice from toyota relating to the floor mat issue, i made sure the floor mats were properly attached. this happened only once. i believe that the accident was caused by the floor mat sliding and pushing on the accelerator. *tr | |||

| Vehicle shifted into neutral at 45mph and ground gears. | |||

| When accelerating onto a freeway, the vehicle will shift gears normally. there have been a handful of instances, though, where the gears do not shift as expected. on those occasions, the car would shift upward to the 5th gear (out of 6). after lightly releasing gas pedal, the car does not shift to 6th gear and the rpm stays high around 3500-4000rpm. it stays in that gear unless i briefly tap on the brakes and back to the gas pedal. if the speeddrops to he 35mph range, then it drops to 4th gear. after the incident, the behavior of the car is normal again. the reason for concern is that this occurred about a total of 6 times since i owned the car, and they occurred on a normal daily commute that i consider routine. these few times were definitely out of the ordinary behavior for the transmission. | |||

| I am driving a car which has accelerated unintentionally three times. i want lexus to be responsible and find out why my car accelerates randomly and i want them to fix my car. i also want lexus to admit to this safety flaw. i wish that lexus would be punished for this serious breach in concern for public safety although that is not my immediate concern. in july of 2009 the car accelerated when the brakes were applied. the car could not be stopped by applying the brakes alone and only stopped when it was put in neutral and hit the car in front of us. lexus attributed this to the driver | |||
