Accelerator Stuck Problems of Lexus RX350

This vehicle started accelerating on its own. When I tried to get the vehicle to stop, the brakes would not work. Neutral would not work. Down shifting would not work. The vehicle would only increase in speed. I had 3 kids in the car. The dash board indicator lights lit up. All of them!! when I finally looked down the accelerator pedal was stuck. I grabbed it with both hands while doing over 100 mph and heard a pop! then the vehicle slowed but still not nearly safe enough. I finally managed to down shift the car at that point. And then jammed her into park from about 30 mph. There was something seriously wrong with this car. It was not floor mats that got that pedal stuck! I saw that pedal! you need to look into this further. Someone is going to get killed! I will bet they already have. I had to trade my car in because Lexus would not even check the computer for fear they would be validating my complaint. Now I get a letter stating they are changing the accelerator pedal? there is something more to this and I think you should be looking further. That is why I am filing my complaint now. They said I was the only one. Obviously not. I spent a lot of money to get out of that car. People should not have to. Please look into this. I beg you.
