Problems with 2005 Lexus RX 330 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

On september the 1st we had just had extreme thunder and lightning, torrential downpours. i had just dropped my girlfriend off at work and at this time it was only raining moderately, and the time was 1:20 pm, and then i started the 15 minute trip back home. i was 1/3 of the way back home and noticed as i was driving, a pedestrian wanting to cross the street so at this time i stopped and the vehicles braking system seemed to work just fine at that time. i then started driving the final 2/3 of the way home, i was about one and a half to 1-3/4 of a mile to home and thank goodness no pedestrian or vehicle was in front of me because for approximately 1400 to 1600 feet the lexus suv would not stop or slow down and thankfully i was only going 30 to 35 mph and the vehicle fortunately had enough distance to slow itself down before the hairpin left curve in the next part of the road. and then strangely enough the brakes seemed to be operating properly again. please note that i am mechanically inclined, and can name all of the parts in the vehicle's braking system.

2005 lexus rx330 would not stop nor brake as headed downhill in slightly snowy weather at about 25mph. as road curved, i could not slow vehicle and thus started to lose steering control. i attempted to accelerate thinking it wa a forward slide but that didn't change things and vehicle continued to accelerate. so i hit the breaks hard-- no result, no additional control. vehicle continued for about a block, hit curb, then tree. totaled vehicle and injury to myself. assumed at the time the speed was lower but after seeing damage later and getting physical therapy, it clearly had accelerated before hitting the curb-- which did slow it down before hitting the tree. three of four tires blew out with holes on the sides from force of impact with curb. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 lexus rx330. whenever he depressed the accelerator pedal there was a three second delay before the vehicle accelerated. this would occur whenever he tried to pass another vehicle or accelerate into traffic. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the software was changed. the toyota manufacturer was called and they stated that the vehicle was functioning normally. this problem has existed since the vehicle was purchased in march 2005. the failure mileage was 10 miles and the current mileage was 102,000. updated 11/10/10 *bf
