WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS TO GO IN REVERSE IN MY 2007 LEXUS GX 470, THE CAR ACCELERATED FAR MORE THAN I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, AND EVENTUALLY COLLIDED WITH A CONCRETE POLE. ABOUT A MONTH PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE MAKING A SCRAPING SOUND, BUT THE DEALERSHIP "COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM." AFTER THE INCIDENT, I PROMPTLY REPORTED THE ISSUE TO LEXUS AND LEFT THE VEHICLE UNTOUCHED FOR NEARLY 2 WEEKS, AWAITING INVESTIGATION. LEXUS PROMISED TO CONTACT ME WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS TO INVESTIGATE, BUT DID NOT DO SO. *TR

SHE HAD A PASSENGER WHO WITNESSED THE EVENT. *TR
