2016 LEXUS NX Complaints

Upon entering a parking lot yesterday and heading down a small ramp my 2016 Lexus NX 200 spontaneously accelerated and even with my foot on the brake did not stop. I was unable to control my car and ending up hitting a tree. All of the airbags deployed; the windshield cracked; the body of the car was severely damaged and I suffered injuries. The car was brought to a body shop and is available for inspection. Fortunately, no other cars were in the parking lot and no one else was hurt. The car will be inspected over the next few days. There weren't any warning signs. I cannot say for sure what mechanical failure occurred to cause the accident, but there was clearly a mechanical failure as the acceleration was beyond my control.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PANEL SHOWS A REDUCE ENGINE POWER MESSAGE. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE BUT IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO OVER 20 MPH, THAN IT BEGAN STALLING UNTIL IT SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT IT KEPT DOING THE SAME THING. FINALLY I DECIDED TO WAIT LIKE 15 MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN UNTIL IT FINALLY WORKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES A YEAR, BUT NOW IS HAPPENING AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH. SOME OF THE OBD CODES ARE: P00CF, P106D, P107B, P0087(FUEL RAIL SYSTEM PRESSURE TOO LOW).

I ENTER THE VEHICLE, APPLY MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE TO START THE VEHICLE, ENGAGING THE REAR END LIGHTS. I KEEP MY FOOT APPLIED TO THE BRAKES, NOT SHIFTING THE CAR OUT OF PARK, WHILE I RESEARCHED DIRECTIONS TO MY DESTINATION. MY VEHICLE REMAINED STATIONARY I REALIZED I HAD FORGOTTEN SOMETHING, SO DISENGAGE THE BREAKS AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I BEGIN TO EXIT AND AS MY SECOND LEG IS HALF WAY OUT, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I WAS ALMOST PINNED BY A STREET SIGN, AND AFTER AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO GET IN AND GAIN CONTROL, MY NEIGHBOR HOLLERED FOR ME TO LET IT GO, AS THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE FORCED ME TO BE PUSHED TO THE GROUND. IT PROCEEDS DOWN THE HILL MAKING CONTACT W FOUR VEHICLES.

I RECEIVED A FEW LETTERS IN THE MAIL AT THE BEGINNING OF 2018 FOR A RECALL AND I CURRENTLY LIVE OVERSEAS IN GERMANY DUE TO MY HUSBAND BEING IN THE MILITARY AND THERE IS NO PLACE FOR ME TO GET MY RECALL, IF I TRULY HAVE ONE, FIXED. THE MILITARY WILL NOT SHIP MY CAR BACK TO THE USA IN OCTOBER 2019 IF IT IS NOT FIXED. PLEASE HELP.
