The contact owns a 2008 Es350 Lexus. While driving 60 mph all of a sudden the vehicle accelerated without touching the accelerator pedal.

I purchased a 2008 Lexus ES 350 on February 21, 2008. On may 28, 2008, I took the car to the dealer, Lexus of jacksonville, FL, because the gas pedal stuck on may 26, 2008. When this occurred, the car accelerated to over 80 mph and I had to insert my foot underneath the pedal to unstick and raise the pedal to decrease acceleration. Lexus of jacksonville checked the pedal and I was told the pedal had been adjusted. The problem has not recurred. On February 19, 2008, I was contacted by Lexus of jacksonville to schedule the vehicle for service as a result of the recall of the gas pedal sticking and an engine hose replacement.
