NHTSA Complaint #10243157 — 2007 LEXUS ES350

I HAD GONE THOUGH A TOLL BOOTH AND WAS ACCELERATING AROUND A TRUCK BUT WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE GAS, THE CAR ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WITH ALL MY STRENGTH AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR AT 60 MPH. LUCKILY THERE WAS LIGHT TRAFFIC, BUT THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT I WOULD HAVE HIT MULTIPLE CARS IF THERE HAD BEEN TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND BRAKE TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITH THE ENGINE SCREAMING THE WHOLE TIME. TRULY THE MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO EXPLAINED IT WAS PROBABLY THE FLOOR MAT WHICH HAD NOT BEEN SECURED WHEN THE CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED THE DAY BEFORE. I ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF A LOOSE FLOOR MAT?!!! *TR
