Thank you. She said she stopped the car by turning off the ignition - nothing else would slow it down.

Agree. None that I am aware of...

Thank you. Wife was shaken. Dog probably thought it's a new game! ( Oddly, have charged her car all day, her key fob won't work on her RX 350. Hers is unlocked.) ( Having used my car last week a few times, my key fob won't work on my RX300. Mine is locked. ) ( Will try new key fob batteries tomorrow. )

It looks... amazing! Enjoy.

Cruise Control was definitely off... but thank you for thinking.

I think I had to pull and tug at the same time...

I did it... Think I had to slide and push... There is a video here somewhere - for a Toyota? but the technique was the same.

Well... Given events of this morning, I think we are in a similar 'boat'. My wife says, it must be blue. Hmmm I am thinking comfort not performance ( an RX 450h ), main dealer + warranty + luxury + reversing camera, up to 20K, probably not air suspension... So I am guessing a 'Luxury' or 'Premier', 2012+ [ Forgive me, I am thinking out loud, but any final nuggets most welcome. ]

Me too. I think ... she ( I ), will be looking at a newer, (used) Lexus approved RX. Part exchanging the current one...

Thank you x 2. The mats look fine... Rang Lexus this morning who say get it recovered to a Lexus Centre to take a look at. ( We probably will, though I predict the outcome - 'we can find nothing wrong' )

An odd morning... Wife taking out dog in car (RX350). Her remote would not work, so she used her spare key. Then about 1 mile down the road, it did the thing it did about about 12-18 months ago, whereby it just speeded up. She tried braking, no response. She said she thought she was going to die. She managed to stop - though she can't really remember how - by driving into a side road with a hill. However it did, she stopped - in the middle of the road. She then rang me. First she rang the AA ( she had let it expire, Lesson 1 ), then she rang Green Flag ( she had the wrong/old number in her phone, Lesson 2 ), then she rang Green Flag on my phone ( correct number stored ) and found she had no cover. So... NO cover. I managed to get my daughter to collect me and drive to where my wife's car was, with my portable Starter - bought on Amazon and inspired by this Forum. I had bought one for my wife, but... the car seemed dead, would not start, starter was in the boot and the boot would not open - still won't. Currently charging the car, which I drove back home. So... those starters are great. It's a 3.5 litre engine. Started first time with my starter. ( It went down to 62% so I am charging that as well. ) I'll make sure they are not stored in the boot. Not sure why as yet it will not open. ( Lesson 3? ) So... it has happened at least twice now - accelerating without the pedal being pushed. ( I think it may be a known Lexus issue? ) I think she will probably buy a newer Lexus or similar as I think she is too scared to drive it now. Oddly, also when trying to open my Lexus RX300 - to get my portable starter - both my remotes would not open my car. Had to set the alarm off, quickly get the starter and then manually lock it again. An odd morning... and a scary one for my wife. PS. If anyone has any words of wisdom regarding opening my car, I'd be most grateful. Key fob batteries are recent, though I do have another spare I can try. Turning the key in the lock just sets the alarm off...

LOVE AFS in Winter.

Engine

I would, yes. Had my Soarer serviced there for many years...

Jemca - Hendon ...

You've had luck, but you also posses a lot of wisdom.

Prudent planning, starting a pension early, luck?

That sounds brilliant. I'll go with Option 1 !

+1 !

Think I would... disconnect the battery for a few minutes, and then once connected, it ill re-learn...

Indeed. I started pensions for our children when they were about 8 - so, I hope, they don't need to work until they are 100.

Thank you.
