I WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE SINCE THE CAR HAD ALREADY BEEN FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SERVICE MNGR: DARYL WOULD CALL ME BACK BUT I NEVER HEARD FROM ANYONE.    LIFE-THREATENING EXPERIENCE INVOLVED THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONING ON MY 1999 LEXUS ES300, THURSDAY, 3/9/06. I HAD SET MY CRUISE ON 50 MPH AND IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN UP TO 88 MPH. I DEPRESSED THE CRUISE TO TURN IT OFF WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND HELD THE BRAKES DOWN, THE ENGINE REVVED HIGH AND THE CAR STILL WOULDN'T STOP. FEARING FOR MY LIFE AND LOOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND HEARD THE ENGINE MAKE A LOUD, DISTRESSING NOISE.    THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP AND WOULDN'T RESTART, SO I CALLED THE ONLY TOW TRUCK IN THE AREA.  TOWED TO CONWAY, BUMPER TO BUMPER IMPORT AUTOS AND THE MECHANIC: DALE SAID I HAD BLOWN THE MOTOR. I ASKED HIM, WHAT CAUSED IT, HE SAID IT'S OBVIOUSLY RELATED TO THE OVER-STRESSED ENGINE BEING STOPPED SO ABRUPTLY WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF.  HE MENTIONED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT AND HE ADDED HIS STATEMENT ON THE INVOICE: CRUISE CONTROL WIRING CAUSED STICKING THROTTLE.    LEXUS VEHICLES HAD REPORTED PROBLEMS IN NY TIMES FOR RECALLS FOR THE SAME MALFUNCTION, SO MY CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED. THEREFORE, I EXPECT LEXUS TO REFUND ME THE TOTAL EXPENSES BELOW INCURRED DUE TO THIS OBVIOUS CRUISE CONTROL DEFECT:    CAR INFO:[XXX]ENGINE: V6  MOTOR REPLACED       $2400.00  LABOR/ADDITIONAL PARTS    $1500.00  RENTAL CARS  $  288.00  TIME LOSS FROM WORK 3DAYS X 8HRS = 24HRS @ 31.84 =$  764.00  TOTAL REFUND REQUESTED=$4952.00.  *NM  UPDATED 07/16/2012 *JS    INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"1999","productMake":"LEXUS","productModel":"ES","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
