Recall woes may not be over for Toyota.

According to reports filed by a 66 year-old woman from Philadelphia, her Lexus RX350 accelerated without her touching the accelerator pedal, causing her to crash the car in order to stop it from going any faster and causing even more damage. The report to the attention of the public while Congress continues an on-going investigation into Toyota.

Congress recently urged the automaker to install new brake interlock systems and a black box to record the status of a vehicle prior to a collision.

Another family sued Toyota in 2008 for unsafe accelerator pedals after their son died in an ensuing accident. They were also in a Lexus RX350.

Consumer reports find themselves against the Lexus line of models, commonly citing safety issues especially with the RX350 model and SUV classed GX460. Recalls did not go out for the RX350, as some suspect lower sales meant lower number of incidents, causing less exposure of problems. The GX460 was recalled, seeing a reworking of the vehicle’s software.
