UNINTENDED ACCELERATION - THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN STOP & GO RUSH-HOUR CITY TRAFFIC STRIKING SEVERAL CARS (6 CARS IN TOTAL) BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED BY STRIKING THE OAKLAND POLICE DEPT BUILDING.

MY CAR IS USED TO DROP OFF AND PICK UP CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL AND GROCERY SHOPPING, AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT; HOWEVER, ONE DAY I HAD JUST GOT IN THE CAR AND STARTED IT UP (MY ADULT SON WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT) AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON MY DASH AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT SHOWS IT IS NOT ON. MY SON WEIGHS ALMOST 200 POUNDS. WE EVEN HAD HIM GET OUT OF THE CAR AND SIT BACK DOWN AGAIN, THINKING THE SEAT DIDN'T REGISTER FOR SOME REASON, BUT NOTHING CHANGED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS IF EVER INVOLVED IN A CRASH, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY TO PROTECT ANY PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. ALSO, THE DASH OF MY CAR IS CRACKING AND HUGE SPIDER WEB CRACKS HAVE NOW BEGUN TO TAKE OVER THE DASH ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. I KEEP IT GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME SO HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS HAS STARTED HAPPENING EITHER. CAN SEND PHOTOS IF THEY ARE NEEDED, JUST LET ME KNOW.

MY CAR HAS BEEN MOSTLY STATIONARY AND KEPT IN MY GARAGE FOR 3 YEARS. THIS YEAR I EXPERIENCED THE DASHBOARD AND IGNITION AREA MELTING AND CRACKING. I FEEL IT MAY AFFECT THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE AIRBAG. ALSO, I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE MAY BE SOME SORT OF CHEMICAL RELEASE THAT IS NOT HEALTHY TO ME OR MY PASSENGERS. VISIBILITY IS ALSO A PROBLEM SINCE THERE IS A SEVERE GLARE FROM THE DASH ON TO MY WINDSHIELD.

MY POWER STEERING FLUID IS LEAKING AND I NEED TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION. I ONLY HAVE 56,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I'M SEEING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT. THE PROBLEM WAS CAUGHT BEFORE I LOST STEERING CAPABILITY.

2007 LEXUS RX350. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE MASSIVE OIL LEAK. *SMD ON TUESDAY JANUARY 20, 2015, WHILE DRIVING, THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE REAR WINDSHIELD WASN'T CLEAR. WHEN SHE ACTIVATED THE WINDSHIELD CLEANER, ALL IT DID WAS SMEAR. SHE REPEATED THE PROCESS THREE TIMES, WITH THE SAME RESULTS. THEN, SHE NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. UPON PROCEEDING THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT, SHE HEARD AN ENGINE NOISE AND WAS LOOSING ACCELERATION POWER. THE CONSUMER DECIDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER PUSHED THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, THERE WAS A HUGE PUDDLE OF OIL WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED. THEN SHE NOTICED, THE ENTIRE BACK, FROM THE TOP TO BOTTOM WAS COVERED IN OIL. THAT IS WHY THE WINDSHIELD FLUID KEPT SMEARING . ONCE AT THE DEALER, THE CONSUMER SHOWED THEM THE NOTIFICATION SHE RECEIVED REGARDING THE OIL LEAK. HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THE PROBLEM SHE EXPERIENCED WAS NOT THE PROBLEM THAT WAS COVERED. IT WAS A DIFFERENT HOSE WHICH HAD DEVELOPED A HOLE CAUSING THE MASSIVE OIL LEAK. THE OIL COOLER PIPE WAS REPLACED. *JB
