2001 lexus es 300. Acceleration issues *gr the consumer stated when his wife started the vehicle, it immediately went to full rpm, probably around 6,000 plus. Her feet were flat on the floor. She had not put the gear in reverse to back out of the garage, nor had she touched the brake or the accelerator, when the rpms began acting erratically. The consumer stated only a computer failure could have caused the rpm to instantly increase in that manner. The consumer stated he went to the garage to see what was going on and was able to turn the vehicle off. The consumer re-started the vehicle and it behaved in a normal manner.

I have a 2001 lexus 300. I have never ever had issues with it-except for 12-18 months ago- my mat got stuck. As i drove it keep at high speed and kept going faster- the brake pedal would not move as i pushed down. I pit my head down and pulled at the matt & unhooked the front hook under the seat . I thank god i was able to remove my mat- as of that day-i removed my mat & have ruined my carpet, but that is fine. I am surprised this recall is not for my make & model- when i heard the issues with the pedal...It brought back that day- if i was unable to free the pedal, i do not know what would have happened- i would never had thought to hit the e brake or shut car down- and i put all my power on the brake & it would not work. All in all it is an excellent car! *tr

On 2 recent occasions (nov 13, 2006 and may 5, 2007) my wife was pulling into a parking space and shifting the car into park when the car accelerated rapidly and slammed into a wall. Both incidents were almost identical. Extensive damage was done to the front sheet metal (about $9,000 on each incident). It's possible that my wife stepped on the accelerator when she thought she was stepping on the brake but she swears that this did not happen. Also, it is unlikely that this have happened twice. *tr
