NX 300h

  • miles
Upon entering a parking lot yesterday and heading down a small ramp my 2016 Lexus NX 200 spontaneously accelerated and even with my foot on the brake did not stop. I was unable to control my car and ending up hitting a tree. All of the airbags deployed; the windshield cracked; the body of the car was severely damaged and I suffered injuries. The car was brought to a body shop and is available for inspection. Fortunately, no other cars were in the parking lot and no one else was hurt. The car will be inspected over the next few days. There weren't any warning signs. I cannot say for sure what mechanical failure occurred to cause the accident, but there was clearly a mechanical failure as the acceleration was beyond my control.

NX 300h

  • 30,000 miles
The contact owns a 2016 Lexus Nx300H. While the contact's wife was driving 55 mph, the vehicle suddenly stopped without the driver applying the brakes. The vehicle started spinning and, when it stopped, was struck on the passenger side by another vehicle. The contact stated that the air bags failed to deploy. The contact was unsure if any warning indicators were illuminated prior to the failure. There were no injures. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The vehicle was not inspected by an independent mechanic or dealer to determine the brake or air bag failure. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000. The VIN was unavailable.
