The car had a mind of it's own when I was backing out a parking spot it wouldn't allow me to press down the brake(like the ABS was fighting me) to stop before it shortly crashed into a concrete pillar and then when I put it in drive it took off on me and crashed/stopped into a fence again wouldn't press down the brake to allow me to stop it before it crashed into a guard railing/fence. I quickly turned it off and back on before trying to back out of the crash and it acted fine after that. My deductible some how was $2,500 so I've yet to fix it because of the outrageous price since the accident the end of October of 2018(today's date 7-9-2019) since Lexus wouldn't follow up on this when I tried to contact them when this accident happened. I'm going to have to default on this car since it's just dead weight and I can't use it as I attended it to be my ride share car(lyft, uber, turo) to help make ends meet with my single income single parenthood household.

When I was pulling out of a parking spot in reverse the brake was fighting me so it kept going into a concrete pillar then when I shifted it into drive it did it again and now matter how hard I pressed the brake it couldn't of stopped till it ran into a fence not far in front of the car when it hit the concrete pillar. I quickly turned it off and back on then it responded accordly then. It was like the ABS was fighting me when I was pressing the brake and not allowing me brake to be pressed to slow/stop the car both first in reverse then forward to pull away from the crash.
