I was in for my 15k mile service yesterday and specifically asked my service adviser about the whole gas pedal fiasco going on right now. As many of you know we IS-F owners as well as the ISX50 owners were sent a letter telling us to remove our floor mats. After speaking to him, the floor mats are not the problem, it is actually the brake pedal. The ES gas pedal fix is already being implemented, and he told me that since the IS-F has an aluminum single peice brake pedal, it would take a little longer for the fix to come out. What they actually will be doing is create an extended gas pedal, which will get rid of the whole "floor mat causing the gas pedal to stick" issue. So just thought I'd give the community the heads up. When the fix is out, they will again be sending out letters to notify us.

Sorry don't want to seem like a total fool, but if the problem is with the brake pedal, why are they engineering a fix for the gas pedal? I thought from the get go the problem was with the gas pedal and not the brake pedal. I had also thought that the acceleration problems were originally linked to the gas pedal being too long and getting trapped under the mat, so they are going to create an 'extended' gas pedal? isn't that even worse?

I'm still on the fence whether I should do this or not, anyone else chime in if they've done it or not? I still have some time before I need to go in for maintenance.

I had the ECU reprogrammed and also had the pedal changed, the pedal is actually not as bad as I thought, and I don't drive too overaggressively anyways, so the ECU is moot to me.

I got a thank you as well, for performing the recall.
