Anyone out there having any issues with sudden forward acceleration with any
of the new lexus cars.
Sounds crazy, but I had a car shoot forward from a speed of less than 5mph
to above 20 without hitting the gas pedal?

Sound like an Attorney Phishing.......
Unidentended acceleration has NEVEr been proven in any car. Period.

Sudden Acceleration sounds a lot like "sudden lining the pocket of tort
attorneys".

CBS 60 Minutes trumped up a case against Audi years ago but I doubt that ruse
will work twice. Technology will triumph over chicanery. All they have to do
is read out data recorded in the on-board computer and show the throttle was
open and the brakes not touched . . . game over!

The tort shysters better stick with cigarettes and asbestos.

known issue. Drive in 4th gear to minimize shifting.
