CAR WAS IN A PARKING LOT. STARTED, PUT IN REVERSE, THEN PUT IN DRIVE AND CAR TOOK OFF STEERED TO THE RIGHT AND HIT TWO OTHER PARKED CARS BEFORE I GOT CAR IN NEUTRAL. MOTOR STILL REVING TILL IGNITION TURNED OFF. CAR ONLY TRAVELLED ABOUT 25 YARDS BUT WAS LITERALLY UNCONTROLLABLE FROM AN ACCELERATOR OR THROTTLE STANDPOINT--FELT LIKE IT WAS IN A FULL OPEN POSITION--IT ALL HAPPENED SO FAST--HARDLY ANY TIME TO REACT, LUCKILY NO INJURIES. WAS WITNESSED.*AK

I BOUGHT A CAR FROM LEXUS DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 26, LESS THAN 3 MONTH AGO. IT IS A 1993 LEXUS LS400 WITH 67400 MILES ON ODOMETER AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. LAST SUNDAY MY FAMILY: MY WIFE, DAUGHTER AND MYSELF WENT FOR A 4 DAY VACATION TO LAKE SHASTA. IT WAS OUR FIRST LONG TRIP IN LEXUS. UNTIL THEN THERE WERE ONLY UP TO 50 MILES TRIPS. AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS OF DRIVING AT 65-70 MILES PER HOUR SOMETHING HAPPENED. WE HEARD SOMETHING FELL OUT FROM THE CAR AND I BARELY HAD THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR WE SAW THAT THE TREAD OF LEFT REAR TIE IS DESTROYED/MISSING. SOME OTHER PARTS INCLUDING LEFT REAR DOOR ARE DAMAGED/MISSING. I SUPPOSE IT HAPPENED BECAUSE THE RADIUS OF THE TIRE INCREASED WITHOUT THE TREAD. WHEN WE DROVE BACK SEPTEMBER 13 THE SAME HAPPENED WITH THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. AGAIN, AFTER 2 HOURS OF DRIVING AT 65-70 MILES PER OUR WE HEARD A PART FELLING OUT. THE TREAD OF RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS DESTROYED. SOME OTHER PARTS WERE MISSING/DAMAGED/SCRATCHED. BOTH TIRES WERE INSTALLED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. THEY ARE THE SAME MAKE: COOPER LIFELINER CLASSIC II.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P225/60R16 )

I HAVE A 93 LEXUS LS400 WITH 76,000 MILES. THE WHITE LED SPEEDOMETER POINTER HAS BURNED OUT. THE HENDRICK LEXUS SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID I WOULD NEED A NEW SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER COSTING OVER $200 PLUS ABOUT $160 IN LABOR. THIS SEEMS TERRIBLY WRONG TO ME. WITH THE SPEEDOMETER POINTER BURNED OUT, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT IS LIKEWISE VERY DIFFICULT TO TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING DURING THE DAY. *AK
