Lexus suv acceleration problems Videos

yes, I agree. but it doesn't take fucking Einstein to figure out that if you put the car in neutral you'll stop accelerating

+Maestro_T For CVT's with electronic shifters, you have to hold it in neutral for a few seconds like you would the power button. It's meant to protect against accidentally shifting out of gear by mistake if you bump it. And for older transmissions, it's mechanically connected with a cable and will shift out if pushed forward, no button/pedal presses needed. The driver and his wife would have known this if they bothered to read the manual that came with the car.

+Maestro_TThere were only in the car a matter of minutes, not enough time to process it allif you're behind the wheel.    Toyota and the dealership were sued big time and had to pay the family.  Another man that was in jail for vehicular manslaughter was released as his car was re-checked after this accident and it was found the floor mats were at fault.  He was driving a Camry. It was awful..    I live near there and think of them when I drive by there.  His daughter was set to start her first day in high school the next day.     Very sad.   

+lin sioux I did not know the tires were in flames, that is certainly hard to believe but it may have happened if he kept pressing on the brakes and releasing rather than keeping his foot down the whole way. This would have caused them to overheat and not be effective.As for the slots, I really don't buy the argument that it's that much more difficult.  I've driven cars with those slots, and I just looked at a picture of the ES350's shifter, neutral is straight in front, it's the other gears where it moves on an angle.  Now if there was a software malfunction which prevented the car from being shifted to neutral, that is another story, and a very serious one.  I thought I heard something that they owned the same car?I realize it is not something people want to consider because it's not a nice thought to have, but it may very well have been that he panicked and made the wrong decision(s) and the blame is not with Toyota.  That's also not to say that many others would not have panicked in the same situation.  I'm not sure we know one way or the other what really happened and whose fault it was.

+Maestro_TThis all took place in a matter of minutes.    The tires were fully engulfed with flamesand the freeway banked sharp, so he tookthe exit.  I live a few miles away, the exit dead-ends into a sandy  field.   The car hit a small sand-bank and flew up and flipped.The brakes were gone..  that fast.  He was also avoiding other cars, it's just a two-lane freeway.    A short one as well.    I checked my car,  it goes into neutral easy.    But this car was more difficult because of the slots.It happened fast, the car was going 100 + mpg....  his whole family was in the car, he did everything a mortal soul could.    So much going on at once in an unfamiliar car.  Well, did I mention they were only a few miles from the dealership when they crashed?

+lin sioux Slotted or not slotted, you can still shift to neutral unless there was something in the car's (malfunctioning?) computer system which didn't allow this to happen.  His wife was probably pushing the start/stop button repeatedly instead of pushing and holding.  Now I have read Car and Driver's article of simulating an unintended acceleration situation and if he had stomped on the brakes and held them, he would have been able to stop the car, even without putting it in neutral or turning the engine off.  Why he was saying "no brakes" is also very puzzling, unless he wasn't pushing hard enough and couldn't feel them.  

+Maestro_T  It was one of those slotted types.  It was an automatic too.  Remember they were going very fast very quickly..  he had to keep the thing in the lane and avoid traffic as well as try and disable the car.  It was a short stretch of freeway  (a mile)  the car was going 100 mph.That was his brother in law talking on the phone,  his wife was trying to turn the engine off;  it was a button switch..  you have to hold it for 3 seconds for it to turn off.   I'm guessing she had problems because everything went down so fast.  This was not their car, it was a rental.  They had only driven a half mile when this occurred.

+lin sioux Why would the car not let him put it in neutral? I have never heard of that kind of override before.

+Saturday Car Fever może dodatkowo test miejsca z jednym fotelikiem dziecięcym zamontowanym na tylnej kanapie z dwiema os. dorosłymi

+Saturday Car Fever cześciowo mnie to satysfakcjonuje :) prośba o wypasioną wersją, i sprawdzenie dostępnego miejsca we wnętrzu dla pasażerów.

Nie wiem kiedy Avant bo nic o nim nie mówiłem, ale mocna benzyna A4 B9 sedan będzie przez całą dobę w moich rękach już za kilka dni :)

+Saturday Car Fever kura daje się we znaki hehe :) no ja czekam z niecierpliwością. pozdrawiam

Spodziewałem się, że to właśnie Ty obwinisz kuraka za klątwę :D

+Saturday Car Fever Mi wyszło 8,2 więc jak na te gabaryty to bardzo ładnie się odpycha. Pytanie jeszcze jak spalanie, ale to już w teście wyjdzie. pozdrawiam

+stayer85 Wiem o tym, ale paliwa było sporo, a ja ważę trochę więcej niż zakłada norma, więc dajmy na to, że katalogowe 1845kg było. Wyposażenie dodatkowe też zawsze trochę waży. Czasem dodatki i różne opcje potrafią wywindować masę gołego auta nawet o 100kg.

+Saturday Car Fever te masy sa teraz podawane ze 75kg w srodku ( kierowca) i 90% w baku (w bmw na pewno tak jest ale to jest chyba norma ogólnie przyjeta teraz w europie).Czyli ten samochód normalnie bez paliwa wazy troche ponad 1700

+matii14cSpalanie też bardzo ładne jak na prawie 2 tony bo już niewiele do 2t brakuje. Myślę, że moja wersja po dodaniu całego wyposażenia, które przecież też coś waży i ze mną w środku (80kg) spokojnie dobiła 1900kg. Zupełnie nie spodziewałem się tego co mi zafundował ten samochód. Tym bardziej, że mam fatalne wspomnienia z tego samego silnika w sedanie W205. Mercedes GLC to jeden z moich testów na które warto kilka dni poczekać :)

+stayer85Tak. Wystarczy, że otworzę ponownie to co napisałem by dodać przecinek, kropkę albo inny bzdet, a wszystkie litery ó są za karę ;) zastąpione bardzo często okropnymi krzaczorami :D

+Saturday Car Fever widzę że nie tylko mi youtube przekręca niektóre polskie znaki po edytowaniu komentarza

+Saturday Car Fever rzeczywiście, masa własna dosyć spora - więc wynik naprawdę fajny :)

Zapewne tak właśnie jest :D Oby Twój sprzęt był bardziej wyrozumiały ;)BTW katalog podaje 8,3 sec. 0-100km/h dla tego silnika (170hp) Jakoś tak wygląda mi to na odrobinę lepszy czas. Masa własna spora bo aż 1845kg!

+jacob campbell after 25 years your vehicle becomes antique it may be worth replacing considering the older s10 crowd is a cult following with lots of parts available

+Steven Whitfield ok thanks

+jacob campbell yes depending on where you hear the noise I'd suggest taking it into a shop but I'm assuming they'd say the same thing I am, look up the cost of replacement, most likely it's more than the vehicle is worth, so either get it replaced or rebuilt if you're really attached to the vehicle or run it till it dies completely, but first get it checked and estimated at a shop

+Steven Whitfield could it also be the transfer case or no

+jacob campbell sounds like you blew your gearbox, pretty sure thatd total your truck or at least make it a salvage title

It's a automatic

+Daphne Wood does it sound like your car has turned into a jackhammer? that's what mine sounds and feels like when i first put it into reverse from time to time... :/

+MRWOODBEARER They have all been replaced

+MRWOODBEARER JUST HAVE YOUR MOUNTS CHECKED OUT !!

+Daphne Wood THE MOUNTS KEEPS THE ENGINE AND TRANNY IN PLACE WHILE OPERATING IT ... IF THEY ARE WORN OR BROKEN SPINNING PARTS WILL RUB AGAINST THINGS CAUSING GEAR SELECT THUMPS AND/OR VIBRATIONS !!

+MRWOODBEARER OK its more like a vibrating coming from the front especially when in reverse,i was told possibly Cv joints but don't have any clicking.

+Daphne Wood SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANNY MOUNTS ... CHECK THE TRANNY MOUNTS !!
