NHTSA complaint: 2004 LEXUS LS — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. AS I WAS PARKING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND JUMPED THE CURB AND RAN INTO THE BUILDING. I TRIED TO BACK OFF THE BUILDING AND COULD NOT STOP THE RACING ENGINE. THE VEHICLE SHOT BACKWARDS EVEN THOUGH I WAS ON THE BRAKE. IT WENT THROUGH SOME HEDGES OVER A RISE AND CROSSED THE STREET WHERE THE REAR HIT A PALM TREE AND COLLAPSED THE TRUNK. BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR WERE SEVERELY DAMAGED. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. *TR
