problem #2

LX 470

  • 129,000 miles
1. accelerating onto city street 2. the failure - the lower portion of the gas pedal became stuck under the floor mat. It happened to me twice. After figuring out what happened, as I was accelerating, I bent down and moved the floor mat. Scary, started to panic, as I couldn't brake to stop, accelerating at higher speeds, not safe to get to the floor mat and readjust it while accelerating into traffic. 3. didn't know anything could be done until listening to news reports of this recently.
