the whole recall seems a bit odd, I’ve seen many cars that can/will get a stuck accelerator if you jam the floormat up into it.

Perhaps if they weren’t busy on the phone they could have shut off the ignition or shifted the car into neutral. :doh:

I don’t think the problem is just floor mats. Time will show though…

probably a glitch in the electronic throttle.

Wife drives one. I think she can handle a stuck RX350 throttle problem…neutral and cut ignition after down to safe speed and clear of traffic to account for lack of power brakes. Thanks for the heads up!

my sister has a new corolla she just got a recall about the brakes something to do with the vacum line from the brake booster to the valve cover could get clogged
they dont list here car on any of the ones about the gas pedal but she has the nice weathertech floor mats not the stock ones anymore

Thank you. I saw this on club lexus a few months ago. to think a highway patrol officer would be able to know to do that. If the pedals are as sensitive as my 03 GS, then I can definitly see the floor mats being the issue here.
