description: ON 12/23/09 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:46PM, MY MOTHER LOST CONTROL OF HER 2006 LEXUS ES300 IN THE PARKING LOT OF A STORE IN MIAMI, FL. THE CAR WENT UP ON A RAISED GRASS BED AND WAS STOPPED ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS CAUGHT BETWEEN THE ARMS OF A LARGE, METAL GATE. THE GATE REMOVED THE ENTIRE HOOD OF THE CAR AND SHATTERED THE WINDSHIELD. MIRACULOUSLY, MY MOTHER WAS NOT HURT AND NO OTHER CARS OR PERSONS WERE INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT. MY MOTHER WAS TICKETED FOR "CARELESS" DRIVING, LOSS OF CONTROL. FROM THE MOMENT I ARRIVED ON THE SCENE, SHE DESCRIBED A FEELING OF NOT BEING IN CONTROL OF HER CAR - SHE SAID THAT IT WAS AS IF THE CAR WAS GOING WITHOUT HER! WE HAVE REPEATEDLY CHECKED WITH LEXUS, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOR HER MAKE, MODEL, YEAR IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES EFFECTED BY THE RECALL. HOWEVER, NOW THAT THE ELECTRONIC ISSUES ARE EMERGING IN THE PRESS - - WE CANNOT HELP BUT BELIEVE THAT HER ACCIDENT IS RELATED TO THE TOYOTA/LEXUS ACCELERATOR SYSTEM! ON MONDAY, 2/8/10, I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR HER TO BRING HER REPAIRED CAR (PICKING UP TODAY) TO LEXUS OF KENDALL ON US 1 IN MIAMI TO BE INSPECTED BY A SERVICE MANAGER THERE. NONETHELESS, WE WANT TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT OFFICIALLY - - EVEN IF IT IS THE FIRST 2006, LEXUS ES300 INCIDENT TO BE REPORTED! WE DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE! *TR
