Description of the problem	Today, another lexus /toyota has an acceleration problem which finally caused 4 deaths. Many of us have had similar experiences. You have 3 at least already listed in your complaints. 2006 toyota highlanders (3) just took off and drivers couldn't stop them (i am one) until the car hit something. Lexus too, made by toyota. Please check into this. I wrote toyota to explain that i did not put my foot on accelerator. I got a generic letter back, without help or explanation. We have a problem with these cars , someone needs to address these unexplained accelerations.. My car flew through the air with me screaming , trying to stop it. I hit headon into a cement side of an irrigation ditch. Passenger is still in rehab since march of this year. Is it just the mats, as the san diego press is suggesting with the death of the chp and his 3 family members? I think not. Something in one of the systems, codes, cruise control, computer or ??? Please check these out. Toyota has kept quiet long enough. Farmers insurance is coding my accident as my fault, yet i have never had an accident and did not cause this one.
