  VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR STARTED TO SPEED UP UNCONTROLLABLY AND WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN EVEN WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED. I HAD TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT WE WENT FROM 45 - 85MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS WHILE DRIVING IN 45MPH ZONE IN THE INNER CITY. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON WHILE IN PARK THE ACCELERATOR WAS STILL STUCK UP TO 100MPH + SO IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. WE FOUND OUT LATER FROM THE MECHANIC THAT THE THROTTLE WAS STICKY AND STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION.

  SEAT BELTS

MY SON HOWEVER PUNCHED HIS HEAD THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT INJURY TO HIS HEAD AND FACE. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, AND HE WAS WEARING HIS SEAT BELT.

  AIR BAGS

  SIX MONTHS AGO, THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. TWO WEEKS AGO, THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE WITH THESE LEXUS RX 300'S EVIDENCED BY THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS LOGGED ON THE WEB. MY CAR WAS GARAGE KEPT FOR THE MAJORITY OF IT'S LIFE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY LEXUS AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR
