This fix is crazy to do.
Again the accident happened because they put an RX all weather mat in an ES on top of the regular mat. That was the cause of the fatal crash.
There is no need to get this hack job.
Look at the clearence for yourself and you will see there is plently of room.
What makes no sense is we are still getting 2010 in and we have to cut the pedals so the factory hasn't even changed the pedal yet. So who knows when this new pedal we will see.

So, my wife had the recall completed on her 2010 Highlander today. The pedal does not look that bad. They actually rounded the edge in all areas that they cut. They must have sanded it or something. No doubt by your pics, the tech did not complete the job correctly.
Also, due to my wife's request, the Toyota dealer ordered a newly designed pedal for us, should be in stock for install in about 2 weeks. Honestly, we could probably keep the one we got. I will try to post pics this weekend if anyone cares to see.
(because I sold my ES, some wish I no longer post here)

BTW, how do you like the TL after owning it for a while now?

First, as to forums, the Acurazine is too large. This one has a more "tight" group. So, I'll swing by from time to time and add anything relevant.
As to the TL, a hoot to drive but can honestly say that I do miss some of the luxury items that the Lexus had. The Acura has many pluses that the Lexus didn't have. Look, there is no perfect car. I can PM you, if you wish, to give you some more details (pro/con list).
Hope your 2010 ES is running strong! I'll keep in touch!

MD....your're obviously referring to my previous post....I'm just trying to stop all the bashing that can be pervasive towards Lexus on here and we all know majority of stuff is very minute items. But beleive it or not people come on here to get info and make decisions on purchasing Lexus vehs...heck i did even though had es330 for 6 yrs. Anyway as Lexus owners the more positive feedback the better the value the car will stay intact. I learn QUITE a bit from veterans like yourself, Lexbob, jagtoes and many others.....so again was just trying to shut the water faucet off if you know what I mean...hopefully you understand. My Loyalty sometimes gets in the way. I'm sure you have some mixed emotions with all you had to go through and moving to Acura....good luck.

I thought Lexus was supposed to be coming out with a new pedal?, I believe my dealer told me recently that all they are doing is the software update for the stuck pedal and no shaving. I really don't think there is need for a pedal shave (just the software upgrade) Lexus (Toyota) is being ambushed with all the negative publicity, but still it looks like you're having problems with just poor CS from your dealer. Hope you get it resolved.
