MY WIFE AND I EXPERIENCED AN UNCONTROLLABLE RUNAWAY OF OUR NEW (3 WEEKS OLD AND LESS THAN 200 MILES) LEXUS ES-350 CAR ON 09/27/2009. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. AT TIME, BOTH POLICE AND AMBULANCE WERE CALLED. AND WE WERE SENT TO THE NEARBY SHADY GROVE HOSPITAL FOR CHECKUP AND TREATMENTS. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT IT COULD BE BECAUSE I MISTAKENLY PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE, WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT-HAND TURN ONTO RT. 28. NOW, AFTER I READ ALL THE RECENT TOYOTA/LEXUS ACCIDENT NEWS REPORTS, WHICH SPECIFICALLY INVOLVED THE LEXUS ES SERIES, I BEGIN TO BELIEF IT WASN'T THE CASE. AND IN FACT, IT WAS AN UNCONTROLLABLE RUNAWAY CAR, AT THE TIME. BECAUSE OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE NATURALLY SLOWED DOWN THE CAR AT THE INTERSECTION AND PREPARED TO MAKE THE TURN. THEREFORE, I SHOULDN'T BE THE ONE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE ACCIDENT; ALSO CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING:(1) I'M AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER, AND HAVE DRIVEN ALL KIND OF BRAND AND SIZES OF CARS, AND UNDER VARIOUS WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS SINCE 1962; (2) THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE GREAT SCENECA HWY IN GAITHERSBURG. I'VE BEEN LIVING IN THIS SPECIFIC AREA SINCE 1974; AND GOING THROUGH ALL THE COMMUNITY CHANGES AND EXPANSIONS, INCLUDING NEW ROAD STRUCTURES, AND TRAFFIC PATTERNS; (3) I'VE A SUPERIOR DRIVING RECORD; AND A 20/20 VISION. *TR
