| 1998 lexus rx 300 spun out of control and rolled over. this was in 2002 august and i had called lexus to check if there is a sudden acceleration or a roll over problem. they said none. i decided not to engage a forensic engineer to investigate because that would delay the insurance pay back. my wife walked away with minimal injuries but nevertheless, we still discuss what could have caused the problem. *cn | |||
