Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
