Sudden acceleration causing vehicle & property damage. Vehicle acted on own and accelerated, had applied brake hard with no effect to acceleration (like cruise control was applying maximum acceleration) and was able to turn key off but not before damaging vehicle bumper, fender, turn signal, antenna, and rear bumper.
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.
The contact owns a 2000 Lexus LX. The contact stated that the check engine and control system indicators illuminated intermittently. The vehicle has not been taken to dealer for a diagnosis. The current mileage was 85,000, and failure mileage was 81,000.8ak
