On febuary 9th at approxmately 10am I experienced a sudden acceleration problem on my 2007 lexxus 460l car.the car acclerated out of my control, in reverse, in to a cement pillar in an underground parking lot. I then put the car in drive and it acclerated even faster in to a cement wall. This was reported immediately to the dealer lexxus of bellevue wash as well as lexxus USA on two seperate occasions.

I have a lexus ls 460l and have received a safety recall notice from lexus regarding valve spring replacement. The dealer cannot take care of it until 1/24/11. I called the lexus hotline for assurance that there are no safety issues with the car between now and then and they said they could not give me that assurance. I am supposed to drive to charlotte, nc next week from washington, dc and I asked them if I'd be ok in the car. Again, they said they could not provide assurances.

Reported at 19,995 miles, November 2010

Took my vehicle in for a routine 60k service. The only service provided was an oil and filter change, tire rotation and maintenance reminder reset. The issue that has occurred since has been hesitation or poor acceleration from a stop and low speeds.
