My car, made by toyota, has all the same problems, faulty parts, as the cars that were recalled for sudden acceleration. I have had the sudden acceleration problem happen twice and i am currently unable to drive the car because of a faulty resistor that controls the fuel feed tot the fuel pump keeps causing the car to act like it is running out of gas. Very dangerous. Lexus has refused to fix it even though i am willing to pay. They want nothing to do with cars with the same parts as sudden acceleration.

Accelerator pedal sticks and engine continues to accelerate. I can only stop it by pushing on the brake hard, putting it in neutral or turning off engine. Sometimes if i have room in front of my car, i can stop it by pumping the brake. This has occurred several times. I cannot tell what causes it. Definitely not floor mat. *tw

Instrument panel lights don't work (speedometer) on 90 lexus ls400. Apparently it's happened to all of them or is happening to all of them. Cost $2000 to repair! Not safe driving without seeing speed. (entire cluster is electronic so can't see even in daylight.*ak

Passenger door lock mechanism on my 1990 lexus ls400 has failed to the point where door will not open from outside nor inside. Lexus dealer wants $800 to fix the problem and the possibility of damaging door panel and scratching window. This is clearly a safety hazard that lexus (toyota) should pay for. I have asked them to pay for it they refused. I am also adding the fact that the dealership has had other ls400's that they've fixed for this specific safety problem.
