Tl*the contact owns a 2006 lexus gs300. the contact stated that at a traffic light, the rpms increased to 6000. once the vehicle was turned off and restarted, the contact noticed that the rpms had increased but the vehicle began to function normally within a few minutes. the vehicle had not been inspected when the complaint was filed. the current and failure mileages were approximately 61,000.

I drive a 2006 lexus gs300. last fall,as i backed out of my parking space - in a building - my car "took off" and hit a cement wall. ( at first, i thought i hit the gas pedal in error however, after what happened next, i knew that was not the case. fortunately, there were no pedestrians in the parking lot. ) i put the car in drive and it "took off" again. luckily, i hit a cement parking bumper that stopped me. all this took place in maybe 15 seconds or so. not realizing there was anything terribly wrong with my car, i steered around the bumper. the car continued to accelerate and i was headed for another cement wall. i was applying my brakes with all my effort and finally i came to a stop a few feet from the wall. shaking, i drove my car directly to the lexus dealer and told him what happened. (at that time i used the term "take off" as i hadn't heard about all the acceleration problems) he ran my car through a computer check and assured me that he could find nothing wrong. several weeks later a friend asked me what kind of car i drove and told me about all the problems toyota was having. i drove my car back to the dealer and asked him to recheck the car. he did, and again assured me that there were no problems. we bought this car used less than 1 year ago with just 12,000 miles on it. it occurred to me that it was possibly traded in because it had accelerated when the last owner had it. the dealer checked and said there had been no previous acceleration problems. one last bit of info....i'm not really sure the exact month i experienced the problems. and finally, even though i have not had any acceleration problems since last fall, i am still nervous every time i drive my car. please advise. thank you *tr

Uncontrolled acceleration of a 2006 lexus gs 300 occurred during overtaking of another vehicle on a two lane us highway. car was towed to a lexus dealer (lexus of ft. wayne indiana) where it was determined that the driver's floor mat was jammed against the accelerator pedal. the dealer stated that this was the only case of this to their knowledge. after seeing the nhtsa report of recall regarding different lexus vehicles with the same problem i suspect that nhtsa has not been informed of the potential for the problem to be more widespread, potentially requiring a broader recall effort. the date of the incident (12/28/06) is approximate. i would expect that the exact date is available from the dealer. the information under "equipment" is not accurate as the choices make no sense. *tr
