        Toyota to recall 3.8M vehicles over floor mats that cause accelerator to stick.

        ...the inquiry was prompted by a highspeed crash in August in California of a Lexus barreling out of control. As the vehicle hit speeds exceeding 120 mph, family members made a frantic 911 call and said the accelerator was stuck and they couldn't stop the vehicle.

        This is Toyota's largest recall ever, affecting several years of Toyota and Lexus models. More details at the above link. If in doubt, remove the driver's floor mat from your vehicle.
