Possessed Lexus?

looks fun

Well, it's relentlessly pursuing SOMETHING, I guess....

Wow, combine that with the car going WOT on you and you're in for all sorts of fun.

I believe it is an anti theft device.

I think that car is scared of the Toyota recall, it likes being alive.

Number 5 is alive

"No disassemble Johnny Five!!!"

Its the auto park system going nuts..

"time to park" "no we're parked" "time to park" no we're parked" "no we ain't" "shut up you" "I'll break your arms"

edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR62Gjnh1GM&feature=related <-- same issue in a malibu, just not as bad. I wonder if they have the same rack supplier?

Cable driven throttle? Check. Hydraulic or Manual steering rack? Check. Problems with throttle sticking? No. Crazy steering wheel? Only when I'm behind the wheel.

I don't think that video is going to help Toyotas image much right about now.

No auto park system on that model.

Yea that's an IS model..

I'd say that's a Magnasteer system with issues. There are also hydraulic system problems that can cause similar symptoms, I don't think they'd 'cycle' as fast as that one was going.

My logitech wheel does the same thing when I try to cut through the woods

I am sure a real steering wheel would do the same thing, Wally...

I saw this posted on corner-carvers and the guy who posted the link said that the owner installed aftermarket HID lights which apparently screwed up a sensor in the steering. I don't know where he got his info so I'm just throwing it out there.
