The driver/owner of the lexus ls 430 was pulling in to a parking spot behind another car at a private club. It was straight in parking behind a gmc yukon. In pulling into the spot, the right rear tire went over a curb, and suddenly the car accelerated like a rocket. The driver stepped on the brake and nothing would stop it. Since the car was only about one foot away from the parked yukon, the lexus was stopped by the impact. The car was put in park and the engine turned off. Air bag did not deploy. Damage was done to rear bumper of the yukon and the front bumper of the lexus as well as an a/m reinforcement beam and other external damage. As of this date, damage to the engine of the lexus is undetermined. *tr

This is the second time that i have applied the brakes and the car accelerates rather than stopping. The first time was in july 2006 right after i had purchased the car. That time i accelerated into the back of a police car and did a lot of damage to the front of the car. I have driven over 120,000 miles and 9 years without this happening again. This time i was at a stop light and began to move when a construction worker jumped in front of my car to have me stop and the car accelerated across 4 lanes and stopped before i went up on the curb and hit a building. Unfortunately, the construction worker's ankle was broken and now i am being sued. I had my mechanic check the problem last time and he could not find anything wrong. I checked to see if this car had been recalled last time and this time for this problem and it has not been. *tr

The bass of the speaker in the rear of the car is malfunctioning. I have heard from other owners of this year / make that this is an issue for them as well. Specifically, the speaker needs to be replaced or repaired because of the wobbly sound it makes

In the course of opening the closed car trunk lid in order to retrieve the groceries that were inside the trunk, , i pulled it up by its lower edge using the ring finger of my right hand. Without warning or reason for it to do so, the electric automatic power trunk lid closer mechanism operated and shut the lid, crushing and mangling my finger bone and finger nail, and causing excruciating pain and permanent disfigurement. I am told by the doctor who has been treating my finger that the finger soreness and pain is also a permanent condition. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2001 lexus ls430. The contact stated when the brake pedal was applied it extended to the floorboard and it had to be depressed several times in order for the vehicle to come to a stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a local mechanic who were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 54,000 and the current mileage was 59,000.

The trunk struts failed to support the trunk and slammed shut as i was retrieving groceries out of the trunk. It left a very nasty bump on the back of my head. It no longer supports the trunk lid weight at all. It is dangerous and i must always hold it open with one hand and the trunk is heavy. I have bumped my head and hands multiple times when the trunk comes down.

I turned around in a parking lot by backing up and reversing my direction, after i reversed my direction the car shot forward without my foot on the gas pedal. I kept pumping the brake hoping it would stop and i shot out of the parking lot into the line of traffic and avoided two lanes of cars driving west until i collided with a car heading east. It ripped off the front bumpers of both cars. I felt trapped in the car and could not control it. It just kept accelerating. I wish that i had the presenceof mind to turn off the key or push the automatic lever to neutral or even reverse. But it all happened in a few seconds and i just didn't have the presence of mind to do anything but step on the brake pedal. Just once before, some months ago, i was parking the car in a public garage and it accelerated quickly asi reached an off ramp. Luckily i was able to turn the steering wheel and negotiate the car around the corner onto the ramp. It scared me, but i thought it was just a freak incident and thought no more about it because i was able to slow the car down once i went round the corner. But this latest time i couldn't stop it and the car is a total wreck. *tr
