jaymac Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I'm a first timer and have a used(1 yr old) ES300 and am having difficulty getting used to the accelerator. After 30 minutes or so of driving with soft soled shoes it makes my foot hurt. Seems like there is a lot of resistence in the pedal? I realize that this is an electronic throttle and have looked at the pedal assembly and it appears to have two good sized springs (one black and one gold) that provide the return pressure on the pedal. This is driving me nuts. The dealer humors me, but says everything is OK. Maybe Lexus owners don't wear soft shoes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I had this the first week I had the car, but repositioning the seat so that more pressure was from my leg rather than the muscles in my foot helped a great deal. Other than that, no complaints ont he throttle, I actually find it very responsive and light on the foot now. I somethimes drive barefoot, too. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
