here is some important info (found on this page: http://www.lexus.com/recall/ ) :
The Brake Override System operates when these conditions are met:
a) The throttle opening is greater than 1/3
b) Vehicle speed is above 5 mph
c) Brakes are applied firmly
d) The accelerator pedal is applied before the brake pedal

"Please Note:
In Order to activate the Brake Override System, the accelerator pedal must be pressed before the brake pedal."

So to all Burnout Lovers, your happy times can continue
I will do the recall just because I think the potential benefits (or protection) outweighs the possible "performance" restriction which to me is inconsequential.
I don't think it will change the fact that it is a great car even after this mod.

This is bull****. They should have made an allowance to disable the "driver confidence" measure when VDC is switched off. I did not agree to buy a nanny car.
The problem with this, I'm not sure I can even enjoy it now, so bummed even if I avoid the update, I just lost Lexus 5 star service, one of the main reasons for buying.
I first expressed my concern about this possibility HERE

Also from the PDF:
I see no reason for this modification on my car. I have no fears of pushing the wrong pedals, and since this whole thing has been pretty well debunked (anyone see the statistical analysis? IT'S HEAVILY BIASED TOWARD OLDER DRIVERS just as it was in Audi's case years ago). As long as I can still feel my feet, my car will not be modified.

Opening Paragraph:
"Lexus has determined that this defect does not exist in vehicles in which the driver side floor mat is compatible with the vehicle and properly secured."
They have to make things dummy proof in these struggling times!!!!

If I elect not to have it done whats the time period I had to change my mind? I'm just thinking of pros and cons come time to sell the car. Some people may want it others dont, is there a time frame for doing this such as during the warranty period or since this is a "safety" issue will it continue to be covered even after the warranty period should the new owner want to have it done?

There is no, "election." They will do this change 10 years from now, or tomorrow morning.
In your absent mindedness, if you give them the car for an oil change, when they hand you back the key fob, it's done.
Do not mistake this for a choice. You're only choice is to not take the car for service to Lexus.
