LS 460

  • 17,291 miles
A driver of the LS460 series for 16 years. New car every 3 years. My 2007 LS460 was the 3rd car at a red light when it began to accelerate with my foot on the brake. Mild 2nd episode 2/7/2009 took all of my energy to hold the car from smashing into the 2 cars ahead of me. Shifted in neutral and then park. Car finally stopped. Took the car to my hospital parking lot. Lexus dealer picked-up the car and kept it for 2 weeks. Told nothing wrong. Was then sent to a hearing with the national center for dispute settlement. The Lexus engineer stated that no electrical fault was documented on the computer. The ruling was against me as " it only happened once". I wrote to the president of Lexus offering to switch cars with him. No response. I do not allow my wife to drive this car. Do not drive with my grandchildren in this car. I limit my driving in this car and stay a great distance behind vehicles in front of me. Have called the manager of my dealership 11 times to get a final answer- that "he could do nothing for me". the Lexus people are well aware of my incident have letters from them.
