The Toyota Lexus Connection

I have a Lexus IS350 and ever since the Toyota Recall thing has hit the news I have wondered if my Lexus is OK.

I love my car and it is fantastic! But that doesn’t mean it can’t have problems I am not aware of. In fact – they mysteriously removed the floor mat at my last oil change. I told them NOT TO even though there was a recall – but sure enough it was in my trunk.

They said there would be a replacement mat. So far nothing.

Now – I can’t say I miss the mat, but the floor is getting dirty. I just can’t see how removing the mat would make the car safer. Sure, the Toyotas are having gas pedal issues – but it is mechanical issues not mats, right?

Oh well – in any event – I still love my car and it is fast as hell and a joy to ride – but I can’t help but be a little irked at the way they are handling this recall issue on my Lexus.
