I was driving approximately 30 - 40 MPH on the freeway. I went to make a lane change, looked over my shoulder to make sure lane was clear, as I turned back, the car in front of me stopped. I put on my brakes, there was no response from my brakes, they disengaged. My car surged forward and hit the car in front of me. My seatbelt did not have any tension, therefore, my body hit the steering wheel. Nothing has been done. The accident just happened.

Service brakes, march 13, 2011 - mansfield ma I purchased my 2010 lexus rx 450h in december 2010. Ever since I bought it, I have noticed that from time to time, when I press the brake pedal, the car seems to surge forward(!) momentarily before it slows down. This happens most frequently. It will happen even if I am only coasting and not touching the gas pedal when pressing the brake initially. It happens to me at least once or twice a week. It is somewhat disturbing. I have mentioned this to my lexus dealer, but they have dismissed my concerns both times I brought it up. Has anyone else noticed this issue? View details

I purchased my 2010 lexus rx 450h in july of 2009. Ever since I bought it, I have noticed that from time to time, when I press the brake pedal, the car seems to surge forward(!) momentarily before it slows down. This happens most frequently when driving over bumpy roads. And it will happen even if I am only coasting and not touching the gas pedal when pressing the brake initially. It happens to me at least once or twice a week. It is somewhat disturbing. I have mentioned this to my lexus dealer, but they have dismissed my concerns both times I brought it up. I noticed this even before I had heard of the toyota recall on hybrid prius brakes, but from what I read, the issue sounds similar to the prius hybrid 2010 problems. But there is so far no recall on lexus 2010 hybrid brakes. Has anyone else noticed this issue?

I was driving a 2010 lexus rx450h on a highway at @60 MPH when it accelerated on its own to @80 MPH within a few seconds. It responded to the brake and I exited the highway. I had the vehicle previously checked by the dealer, rallye lexus in glen cove ny, and they said they were no problems. The dealer and factory rep. Checked the vehicle after the incident and they again said there were no problems with the car. However, the event did occur and now I will not drive the vehicle. Fortunately there was no accident as a result of the malfunction.
