Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING OUR LEXUS ES330 WITH MY WIFE FROM NJ TO CT ON A HIGHWAY. AT ONE POINT DURING THE DRIVE, REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, BUT INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN, THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING. IN PANIC I STARTED APPLYING THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN AT ALL. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO OTHER CAR RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MESSY CRASH. IT WAS VERY SCARY. EVENTUALLY ACCELERATOR STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY AND THE CAR STOPPED IN LANE OF THE HIGHWAY. I CAN'T BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS NOT INCLUDED THIS MODEL IN THEIR RECALL LIST. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. AND, I CHECKED IT THEN, THE MAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE WAS NOT STUCK IN THE GAS PEDAL. *TR
