2006 Lexus Ls

AT APPROXIMATELY 2:00 PM ON JAN. 5, 2020, I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 LEXUS LS 430 IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA IN BETHESDA, MD. I DECIDED TO TURN AROUND. I TURNED RIGHT INTO A DRIVEWAY (AT A LOW SPEED) WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL APPLIED. SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR ACCELERATED WILDLY, MAKING A GREAT DEAL OF ENGINE NOISE, AS THE THROTTLE APPEARED TO BE WIDE OPEN. THANKFULLY I HIT A NEAR-BY TREE AND TWO FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A HOMEOWNER CALLED THE POLICE, AND AN AMBULANCE TOOK ME TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT A NEARBY HOSPITAL. IF THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAD OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY, I AM CERTAIN THAT LIVES WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST.

MY 2006 LEXUS LS 460 HAS A DASHBOARD THAT IS STICKY AND HARD TO SEE OUT OF AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED MY INTERIOR DOOR PANELS ARE STARTING TO HAZE WITH A WHITE FILM ON THEM. I HAVE TAKEN EXTREME CARE WITH THIS VEHICLE AS IT RECEIVES ALL THE NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND EVERY 3 WEEKS A FULL DETAIL INSIDE AND OUT. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE CHEMICALS BEING UTILIZED BY THE DETAILERS, AND I ASKED THEY STOP USING CHEMICALS AND ONLY USE SOAP AND WATER. I LATER FOUND AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEM THAT IT IS COMMON IN A LOT OF LEXUS SEDANS. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT IN MANY LEXUS' FROM 2006 TO 2008. SO I AM INQUIRING HERE TO SEE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. *TR
