 Description of the problemOn dec. 2, 2014, i was entering a walgreen's parking lot in my leased 2014 lexus is 250, which i had owned for only 4 months with 1740 miles. Moving at 5mph or less, i turned the wheel to enter a parking space, when the car suddenly accelerated and took off. I pressed the brakes to the floor and nothing happened. The car jumped up over a planted median filled with bushes, trees and a phone pole. The front tires became lodged in mud and that stopped the car. I missed the telephone pole by less than 1 foot. Luckily, i had an individual witness the entire episode. I telephoned lexus emergency services and lexus customer relations immediately. The car had to be removed from the median by a tow company and was taken to the dealership where purchased. After examining the car from dec. 3-dec. 10, the dealership claims there is body damage but no mechanical problem with the car. The dealer called on dec. 10 saying the car was ready to be picked up. I noted inaccurate data in the service report from what i told the service manager originally, and i was given no information as to follow-up on this matter. I was simply told that lexus corporate had been out to see the underside damage to the vehicle.(front bumper, paint, cracks on base of bumper), and that i would hear from them in 10 days. I called lexus corporate and was told that the matter is now in the legal dept. And that it would be far more than 10 days for a response. Rather, i could expect a call in 4/6 weeks or longer. I am now driving a leased vehicle that i am very scared to operate, not knowing when a similar incident could occur where i could be killed or injure or kill someone else. Lexus, particularly the dealership, appears to be wanting to distance themselves as far from possible from finding a suitable resolution.
