| Lexus stuck pedal--i drive a 1998 lexus gs400 which i bought new. when i first bought it, i'd pressed the pedal all the way down(floored it) many times and everything was fine. however in more recent years, i rarely floored it . one time last summer, i pushed the pedal all the way down to pass a car and the pedal stuck. my car accelerated from 35mph to 70mph in a matter of seconds on a local road. i hit the brakes several times but it kept speeding up. i was able to pry up the pedal up with my toe averting a near-accident. this was before all of the news with toyota's sudden acceleration came to light. i didn't take the car into the local lexus shop because, they charge at least $2000 everytime i take it in. i drove the car for another year but made sure not to press the pedal all the way down. however, i am intending on trading in the car now and i want to make sure the defect is fixed because any future owners of this car will not be aware of this problem and it is a potential hazard waiting to happen. i wanted to file a complaint with the government before taking it in because (a) i want the government to be aware that lexus(not just toyotas) has this problem of stuck pedal/accleration (b) in case the gov wanted to conduct any investigation with my vehicle regarding the stuck pedal for evidence or research before lexus does anything with it(it did not involve a floormat-the pedal just stuck and didn't come back up after i released my foot) (c) compel lexus to fix the problem for free because it is a safety defect before selling it to a future owner. i feel this it is important for the government to do extensive research regarding this matter. lexus has managed to stay out of toyota's recent culpability issues, but certainly my lexus had the same exact problem. you may also want engineers to examine my pedal for more research or even evidence as to why this occurs in lexus/ toyota vehicles. | |||
