Where's Lexus in all this? I mean, a Lexus is just a fancy badge on a Toyota. How are their cars? Are they experiencing the same issues?

it's definitely a real (or)deal... our Toyota minivan will accelerate to way too fast, all too frequently upon resuming the cruise control... say we're cruising at 65mph under cruise control, and hit a patch of traffic, or need to slow to 50 mph for a transition ramp, and either hit the brakes, or pull the little lever back to disengage the cruise control w/o turning it off; then upon the road straightening or traffic clearing, hitting the resume cruise control position on the lever... the fun begins... we never know whether or not the car will creep back to 65mph, or climb all the way to 90mph, if we let it. just gotta pay attention. the car has been in the shop several times, to no avail, but hopefully next time Toyota will get it right.... it "feels" like a computer *related* problem; what else could it be? a dirty sensor? ultimately, the computer has to have a hand in it. I hope somebody figures it out and wins the mil.

How many times is several? After 3, the lemon law kicks in, and they owe you a new one.
