“My 2000 Lexus ES300 was having issues with the RPM ramping up high when the engine is warm up especially when I accelerate at a dead stop. As of today the accelerator stick when I was cruising 55 on the highway and had a hard time stopping my car. I had to pull over into a gravel road with my foot on the brake hard and putting it on park. Finally my car skidded and stop. I'm afraid it might happen again and next time I won't be so fortunate to stop my vehicle like I did today. I just need to know what I can do as for my vehicle goes. …”
