Default 2005 Lexus ES330... pedal stuck.

Went 110mph on Michigan Ave today with my family in the car. I was passing a slow moving car and with the accelerator almost 3/4 the way down went from 65-100 really quick. Flipped it in neutral, jammed my foot under the pedal and yanked it up.

I'ts 3am and I still can't sleep from the anxiety.

Searched the forums... am I the first es330 to have this happen? Also, I don't have all weather floor mats in my car.

No, probably not the first. But that's exactly what you're supposed to do when the pedal sticks. I dunno why people have such a problem doing that!

Great job on not being an idiot and sticking that thing into neutral. Best thing to do is take it to lexus so they can inspect it. Glad no one was hurt because of this too.
