NHTSA complaint: 2008 LEXUS RX350 — SERVICE BRAKES
UPON ENTERING A PARKING LOT AND TURNING SLOWLY INTO A VACANT SPOT THE CAR ACCELERATED REALLY FAST AND WOULDN'T STOP WHEN BRAKE PRESSED AS THE SPEED CAME TO HALT WHEN CRASHING VERY HARD INTO A BRICK WALL. BOTH AIR BAGS ON DRIVER SIDE DEPLOYED AND WERE SMOKING REALLY BAD. THE IMPACT TO MY KNEES AND FACE CAUSED TEMPORARY NUMBNESS FOR WHICH I COULDN'T FEEL MY LEGS OR MOVE. THE POLICE & PARAMEDICS WERE CALLED. THE ENTIRE FRONT END DO MY CAR WAS DAMAGED. RECENTLY PURCHASED USED IN MAY 2013. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP FOR INSPECTION UPCOMING MONDAY. I SUSPECT IT WILL BE TOTALED AND JUDGING BY THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS SIMILAR IN NATURE, THIS PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND RECALLED PRIOR TO BEING SOLD. *TR
