I was driving at 55mph when Lexus 2007 Lexus GS350 suddenly accelerated. The G-forces pinned me to the seat. I was able to shift to neutral and hit brake in less than a second. I then disconnected negative pole on battery for 5 minutes and this resets the computer and surge temporarily ends. The process was described to me by a Lexus dealer service manager for a previous Lexus I owned.
