THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LEXUS RX 350. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE AFTER A COMPLETE STOP, DURING THE (GEAR) SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND HIT / CRASHED ON TO A BUILDING AND SPUN OFF, AND THE IMPACT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL FOR ABOUT 15 FEET AND STOPPED.

APPROXIMATE ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR IS $21,000. MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED THROUGH THE EMAIL OPTION IN LEXUS CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,500.
