Owner complaints filed with NHTSA

Model year	COMPONENT	Complaint
2004	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL	MY WIFE WAS DRIVING A 2004 ES330, WHEN SHE PRESSED THE BRAKE ON A 15 MPH SPEED, THE CAR INSTEAD SURGE FORWARD WITH A VERY HIGH SPEED AND SHE HEARD A ROAMING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IN A FEW SECONDS, THE CAR RAN UP A CURB AND SHE MANAGED TO AVOID HITTING THE TREES AND WALL. THE CAR WAS DAMAGED AND SHE IS NOT GOING TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN. LEXUS DEALER SIMPLY SAID THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I DID RESEARCH ON THIS NHTSA DATA AND FOUND A LOTS OF SAME COMPLAINS AGAINST ES330 AND ES350. I AM VERY UPSET BY THE WAY LEXUS HANDLED THE ISSUE. *TR
2004	FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM	THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT'S EITHER A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION OR BAD DRIVE-BY-WIRE DESIGN.THE CAR HESITATES EXTREMELY BADLY ON ACCELERATION. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN YOU ARE ENTERING A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY, IF YOU SLOW DOWN AND THEN STEP ON THE GAS, THERE IS A LONG LAG BEFORE THE CAR BEGINS TO PICK UP SPEED. THIS LAG IS OFTEN A SECOND OR MORE. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE THE CAR MAKES UP ITS MIND WHETHER IT WANTS TO MOVE OR NOT.THE DEALER HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK
