Description of the problem	Four incidents of unintended acceleration. On four occasions the 2000 lexus is250 i purchased on september 3, 2009 had unintended acceleration of up to 5000 rpm.. Three times this occurred when starting the car in park; the fourth time was when the car was stopped and idling. Twice i had the dealer, thousand oaks, ca lexus, examine the problem and was told no defect could be found. On the fourth occurrence i noticed my foot was on the edge of the brake pedal and depressing the accelerator simultaneously. I wear only a size 9 shoe, have been a licensed driver for over 65 years and have never had any experiences such as these. I have concluded that either the brake and accelerator pedals are too close to each other or they have been positioned too far to the left, that is, too close to the steering column causing one's foot to be on the edge of the brake pedal. Since unintended acceleration has been revealed as a problem with the lexus, i shall appreciated your response to the problem i have described. Thank you.
