My Lexus IS350 and its fatal floormats

Toyota and Lexus announced a recall of 3.8 million vehicles because of the floor mats possibly causing accelerator interference.

I received the recall notice, and took the car into the dealer. The dealer told me that were no problems with my mats. He also gave me tips to stop the car if the accelerator sticks. I have experienced no problems with a stick accerator.

I really should have vacuumed and dusted before shooting this. :)

the floor mats arent causing the problems in the first place-youre drunk on toyotas kool-aid.

the problem is, nothing is mechanical on cars anymore, the throttle pedal is like a potentiometer that tells a computer how much gas to feed the engine, even the brakes work that way. so you guys can do the math.

I suggest you buy WeatherTech floor mats. youtube won't allow me to type websites here but you can google it, just type weathertech floor mats and there you go. They are by far the BEST floor mats out there, they can customize floor mats and floor liners buy car's make model and year. Their mats are pretty expensive, but VERY nice though

Dont put mats in your car problem solved

@itanimulli08 wow.. that's a stupid thing to say. the thing is, some cars do have a throttle-by-wire and it's a position sensor. not a potentiometer. brakes are still mechanical with a dual hydraulic system.

please learn some basic auto mechanics and stop feeding people garbage.

I'm sorry to say that 'Drive By Wire' cars are the way things are going. In all fairness this technology should be more effecient than the old throttle cable type in that it won't suffer from a snapped cable or snagged cable. As with all new technology it's only really fully tested by the consumer (unknowingly) when purchasing a new car and if anything develops it's only then that a car manufacturer will consider options like repairs or in worse case a recall.

Whats the point of even having floor mats, we have floors in cars right?

DOES YOUR VIN NUMBER START WITH A J?

The problem is you have your floor mat too far up. Push it back some.
