Funny part is that recall on the caravan has been going on for over 3 years.... they first tried changing the wiring, and if corrosion was present the sensors were changed also.... I sold a ton of them...... only takes 15 minutes to do.....

go here if curious , www.cbsatlanta.com/news/22674572/detail.html . Wonder if the gas pedal had already been replaced under the recall . If so , could mean electronics .

She had her foot on the brake the whole time...or the accelerator...

Yeah, it was definitely one of those two damn pedals.

roxy1 · 02-27-2010, 11:58 AM

an accelerator sticking is one thing, but acceleration without pushing the pedal at all? i think some drivers that made colossal mistakes (ie pushing the accelerator thinking its the brake) have a very convenient excuse now.

Or has an awesome excuse for pushing the wrong pedal, falling asleep at the wheel or any number of driver-related explanations. Actually my fiance rear-ending someone with the Yaris must have been unintended acceleration, not the big patch of black ice.

^ Yup.

Yeah, but Toyota didn't need to have the government's help to stay alive either!

Most new cars have 'black boxes' that show whether or not you were pressing on the gas or brake pedal at the time the air bags deployed. Shouldn't they be checking these to make sure?

i agree, but imo if the computer thinks its at wide open throttle it will save in the black box that the accelerator was depressed......

markitect · 03-02-2010, 11:07 AM

I think the real question is was the brake pressed as well

RedRide · 03-02-2010, 11:20 AM

Having watched the entire congresional hearings the other day.....

It appears that the reason the American pedals are causing a problem is that Toyota was using two different designs for the pedals in question.

It never was a defect in manufacturing in the American pedals as we were led to believe at first. It was/is a design problem. All Toyots is now doing if installing the pedal design that is not causing problems.

JBougie · 03-03-2010, 01:14 AM

No matter what our shit government does to try and trash them; I will always love my Toyota.

I really wish I could take advantage of that 60 month 0% interest and get a new car right now, because I would do it in a heart beat - their little recall doesn't bother me. It's a machine, they can't be perfect all the time. I'd take a pedal-sticking Toyota over a POS domestic 50k-and-their-dead any day.

I wish I could apologize to Akio Toyoda for the absolute sorry excuse for hospitality we showed him while he was here. If I was him I would want to pull my entire business from this country; thankfully I think he knows that there are plenty of us who absolutely love ours cars too much to care what the media hype is saying :)

RedRide · 03-03-2010, 02:18 AM

This is not a media or US government driven issue!
Over 56 people were killed due to a design defefect in gas pedals.

Toyota knew about this some time ago and slowly started to phase them out.
Even though people were getting killed, Toyota was still draging ther feet over this due to economic reasons.

Howver, the crap hit the fan and they are now saying they are sorry which is so much PR and damage control resulting from corporate greed.

Yeah, I have two Toyotas and like boh of them but I have lost respect for Toyota as a corporation.

Dear Mr. Shortsighted:

you really need to examine the statistics of all automotive related deaths. you would lose respect for EVERY auto manufacturer.

markitect · 03-03-2010, 09:41 AM

Also the number of deaths 'linked' to the recall have suddenly doubled in the last month, that's either a really good cover up on Toyota's part, or really bad number padding on the US government's part.
