I was going to go to work, an when I started to push on the thotthle/ gas pedal. Nothing engaged an then all of sudden it worked like it was back to running normal for like 10 seconds then lost almost all the power an you can push the padel to the floor almost befor it will even engage. It's my everyday driving car it not safe to be driving, when it's malfunctioning in the ECU, vsc, cruise control quit because of what happened. There a recall on the vsc for the Lexus gs 300 for having malfunction problems. But it only let's the you use only the last 25 percent of the gas padel, it don't do anything in till almost to the floor. This happened in brookville Pennsylvania, when I was turing left on to route 36 South. I also had to replace my thottle body because when this all happened, my thottle it was stuck in wide open thottle. It was very dangerous it could have easily put others citizens an my life in danger, witch could cause serious injuries, or in a worse case death. I'm filling out this foam in regards of a recall, to fix or replace the ECU, vsc, cruse control.
