Problems with 2006 Lexus RX 400h VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Brake actuator overworking,brakes chirp when pedal compresses,all dash warning light on. "check vsc system" - abs,brake,traction control,red caution light. regenerative braking not working.

While slowly pulling into a parking space in a parking structure, the car suddenly accelerated and crashed into the cement block wall in front of me. since the distance from half-way into the parking space to the wall was small (probably three to four feet), i had no time to slam on the brakes before impact. the car was towed to a lexus dealer. i was immediately referred to their legal department who handled all transactions after that. an independent evaluator inspected the car, retrieved the crash data retrieval recorder and issued a report. the cdr indicated that the accelerator and the brakes were not pushed until after the crash, and that the speed in the few seconds before the crash went from 3.7 to 60.9 mph. lexus refused to admit there was a problem, stating only that the brakes, accelerator and floor mats seemed to be in good working order. i refused to drive the car again or have only the body fixed and sold to an unsuspecting third party. it was eventually declared a total loss by our insurance company. there was no help or admission of a problem from lexus, except to try to charge us for car storage at the dealership during the process. *tr

This is a sudden acceleration/unintended acceleration incident. i turned off of a major road into a small, crowded parking lot. as i slowly pulled into an available space (with a car parked on each side of me), the car suddenly accelerated. although i kept jamming on the brakes as hard as i could, they did not stop the car--it kept going forward. the car went over the wooden railroad tie at the end of the parking spot and crashed through a wood fence. the only reason the car finally stopped is due to the railroad tie, which slowed the car at the rear axle as the front of the car hung in the air. *tr

As i was pulling into my parking space at work the car suddenly accelerated as i was braking. the car would not stop no matter how hard i pressed on the brake pedal. the acceleration caused me to slam into the wall of my office building and bounced the car back 3-4 feet. at the time of the incident i was in total shock and had hit my leg against the panel during the crash. as the day progressed i started feeling more and more pain and discomfort throughout my neck, shoulders and chest area. this was the first time i have ever felt a sudden acceleration of the car without pressing on the gas pedal. now that this has happened i have realized occasionally when i press on the brake pedal the car doesn't slow down immediately. whether this has anything to do with the incident is beyond me. the car was later towed to longo lexus in el monte, ca for i no longer feel safe driving it. nothing has been done to correct this failure. *tr

Lexus rx400h, accelerated while brakes were applied causing an accident. also the vehicle's brakes were such that the there was a slight delay that had to compensated for or you would pass intersections or turns. the vehicle still accelerates at times when brakes are applied. *tr
