What owners wrote
In a 2010 lexus rx 350 my grandmother was a passenger in which the vehicle was at a stop waiting for an apartment complex security gate to open. The car suddenly accelerated to speeds above 60 MPH. The vehicle crashed through two apartment complex security gates, went airborne over a busy street and came to rest against the side of a building. To our horror, my grandmother perished in the accident. We are awaiting the information from the black box.
On 7/29/2010 my 2010 lexus rx 350 experienced unintended exhilaration causing a collision with a parking lot collision safety post (metal pipe filled with concrete) causing extensive frontal damage of the vehicle. The incident occurred at approximately 1245 on a clear day dry pavement with no other vehicles in the parking lot near the scene of the collision. The incident occurred when I was pulling into the a parking spot making right hand turn.
