My farm is 1/2 mile off weld county road 16 in keenesburg colorado. There is a gravel drive around the house to a short concrete driveway in front of the garage. When we drive onto the concrete portion, we are angled north east toward the garage door and have to back up a short distance to head the car east to enter the garage. We drive very slow through the yard as we have animals to watch out for and make a slow entry towards the concrete driveway. As she turned around the house toward the driveway the car seemed to be going faster than normal and she took her foot off the accelerator and eased on the brake but the car did not slow and she felt the accelerator was pulling her forward faster than she wanted. The brake pedal did not slow the car. The car angled across the concrete driveway, narrowly missing the corner of the garage and struck a tree on the north side of the house. The impact did not deploy the air bag and my wife had no injury. Her seat belt was fastened until she shut the car off and exited the car. I notified usaa my insurer and later spoke to several mechanics about repairs and the problem my wife encountered just prior to the accident. One mechanic told me of a report of a situation much like this and said to call lexus and see if there had been a recall on this make of automobile. I called a lexus dealer in firestone colorado. I gave the VIN number to him and he said his records showed this model year had been recalled for a problem with the accelerator but no records showed repairs were made. I told him I purchased this 2010 model car in 2016 as a used car and had no way of knowing if there had been a recall. I have not taken the car to be repaired but an adjuster did make a report yesterday (thursday june 6). I have no results but the adjuster said the damage was extensive and he was a bit surprised the airbag did not deploy.

Pulled into hotel parking lot at 11:05am (perfect weather - parking lot empty) and ,after turning into the parking spot at a slow speed, the car suddenly accelerated and hit the side of the hotel. The building wasn't damaged, but the car had serious frontal damage. The hotel manager didn't call the police so there isn't a police report. The air bags did not go off. I feel there were several possible lexus problems with this incident: the air bags did not go off even though there was over $17,000 in repairs (even the engine had to be removed),; the automatic braking system didn't engage; and the sudden acceleration of the car from a slow entry into the parking space. Currently the car is at a lexus dealer waiting for the lexus hired inspector to examine it. We have pictures and a complete list of repairs if requested. W e do not have a report yet from the lexus inspection because it hasn't been inspected yet. ...*bf..
