Coasting into a parking spot , myfoot not on the gas , the car took off. I had to slam my foot on the brake and with the help ofthe parkingspot stopper the car stopped. The car felt like it was going to go over the stopper.
I own lexus is300, year 2005. Mileage approx 10,000 only.for approximately 1 year the gear shift selector lever sticks in park and requires that i press the shift lock override button. This has happened approximately 6 times. On the last occasion, when i was able to move the selector lever, the engine started racing, the car shot forward and resulted in a most serious series of collisions, first into a parked car then after mounting the sidewalk it smashed into two houses. I sustained a wrist fracture and bruises. All this happened in the space of about 2 seconds.

Lexus is300 2005 brakemalfunction.when the consume attempted to apply the brakes, the vehicle would not stop, which resulted in the consumer hitting a parked vehicle.the consumer believed the brake booster failed.
Melting dashboard.
One day i just got into my car after cleaning it and the dash was very sticky, i thought someone split something in my car so i wiped it down but it did nothing.
On the dashboard, the square of material where the srs air bag is, on the passenger side, keeps melting when it's exposed to heat.the airbag decomposes over time due to an error in design/manufacturing, and that lexus is aware of the situation due to other customers that have had the same problem. I have safety concerns about the condition of the air bag as this continues to deteriorateovertime. This situation may affect the quality and strength of the air bag. . after research i discovered this problem has occurred in lexus vehicles as far back as 2002.
I have a 2005 is300 that is having a melting dashboard and panel issue. This is a well known issue in the lexus forums on the internet. The melting dashboard and panel issue is caused by the hot sun. Lexus has not acknowledge this issue and also refusing to cover the cost of repairing/replacing the defective parts.
This lexus has the sticky, melting dashboard issue common in many lexus vehicles located in southern states.
The front tires are wearing out faster on the inside (camber) than the rest of the tire.the dealer lexus (is300) said that's the way the manufacturer made it.i was never told this would happen when i bought the vehicle.
