Accelerator Stuck Problems of Lexus RX300

Whenever at a stop or going at very slow speeds (less than 10mph, for example), gas pedal sticks. I have to apply pressure or stomp on the pedal to get the car to move, then it often lurches ahead. This does not happen if going at speed (25 + mph) when take foot off gas pedal nor does it happen when putting car into reverse. At times have to apply excessive pressure to get the gas pedal to move, other times not as much pressure. So far have not done anything to repair the sticking gas pedal. Problem has been getting progressively worst since late last year.

2000 Lexus Rx300. On 3 occasions, in 2006, the car's gas pedal was stuck in the down position - therefore I was unable to stop the vehicle. Took the vehicle to Lexus dealer 2 times (there are records of that), called them once, was told it was safe. After the 3rd time with the pedal sticking, had to sell vehicle. Frequency of appearance - it all happened within 10 days. Could not duplicate for Lexus dealer to fix the problem.

Consumer's son was driving vehicle on August 3, 2004 at 25 mph uphill when suddenly the accelerator stuck. Vehicle red lined up the hill, and when it reached the top of the hill, the motor was still racing. Consumer's son managed to get the vehicle on the side of the road, and cut the vehicle off. It was witnessed by police officer,who was at the top of the hill. Then police officer asked consumer's son to restart the vehicle, and the motor immediately begun to race, red lining again.
