“I had my gas pedal stick twice on my Lexus gs 300 year 2004. The first time I didn't know what was going on. I was in my driveway when it happen and I put my foot on the brake and shifted into nuetral. The second time it happened I noticed the factory floor mat was jammed into the gas pedal. Both times I was able to apply the brakes to hold the vehicle in place and shift to neutral. Reported this to the dealer but they claimed they had no reports of gas pedal sticking for the gs 300.”
