This is why I got rid of my RX400 last year - worry that this issue extended to the RX line. I never saw any symptoms myself. That plus the battery going out of warranty at 70k miles sealed the deal.

" The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday that it has told Toyota, which owns the Lexus luxury brand, to recall model year 2010 Lexus RX 350 and RX 450 H vehicles "for a serious safety issue involving potential pedal entrapment by the floor mat."

If the mat traps the gas pedal, the vehicle could speed out of control.

The recall, which Toyota launched today, includes 154,000 vehicles."
