BTW, I've had cops tailgate me twice, hoping to get a speeding ticket. Then they both checked me for drinking. Sorry, guys, just saving gas.

To make matters worse, NHTSA also noted issues with the braking system from an earlier ES 350 investigation. Autoblog again quoted the agency as stating, "...the Lexus ES braking system loses power-assist when the throttle is fully opened, increasing braking distance fivefold." That's a heaping helping of "not good."

The blame for this one lies with the carputer programmers.
