One problem related to adaptive equipment has been reported for the 2001 Lexus ES300. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a 2001 Lexus 300. I have never ever had issues with it-except for 12-18 months ago- my mat got stuck. As I drove it keep at high speed and kept going faster- the brake pedal would not move as I pushed down. I pit my head down and pulled at the matt & unhooked the front hook under the seat . I thank god I was able to remove my mat- as of that day-I removed my mat & have ruined my carpet, but that is fine. I am surprised this recall is not for my make & model- when I heard the issues with the pedal. . . It brought back that day- if I was unable to free the pedal, I do not know what would have happened- I would never had thought to hit the e brake or shut car down- and I put all my power on the brake & it would not work. All in all it is an excellent car!.
