I personally don't believe there is an issue with toyota pedals sticking. Pedals stick in every car when they brake or rust, it's normal for all cars and you don't see any of those cars with recalls.
I think people are just using this as a scapegoat, there are recalls on all makes and models of every car. It's an easy way to get out of a ticket or a good story so someone doesn't look like they are driving recklessly. Rust is normal in bad weather where salt is used or area's close to shore. I do believe they may have issues with the ecu programming for brakes or whatever. People don't realize ALL cars have problems. Subaru right now has issues with the ECM that are destroying the cars CAT & lets not forget the head gasket problem. Nissan has issues were some of the engines are breaking. Honda had that issue with the airbags shooting shrap metal. The list goes on and on. |

part of problem was that TOYOTA couldn't keep up with demand during the spike in gas prices around the globe few years back . Was nearly impossible to get a COROLLA , YARIS , and especially the PRIUS . Thus more errors are likely . Even if made in JAPAN ( YARIS , PRIUS ) .

The way that stupid woman ignorantly attacked Toyota made me want to punch her in the face.
How do you get off on bashing one of the world's best car manufacturers and asking retardedly impossible questions like, "Will the Camry hybrid ever have a recall?" Not to mention the poor guy came all the way from Japan, when it wasn't necessary, and all he's getting are pointed questions and finger pointing accusations when the company is clearly spending boat loads of cash to fix this problem. And like Toyota is the only company to have ever made a car that killed someone by accident. This is so unbelievably biased I think I'm going to be sick. I'm embarrassed to be American right now. |

okay, so its officially gone off the wall. today on the radio i heard about the head toyota guy saying once again he was very sorry for all this and he knows toyota needs to work to regain the peoples trust. someone (a big shot government person) said its too late to say sorry and he is gonna have to do alot more then say sorry. they also said toyota hasn't been taking this seriously nor doing the right actions
WTF!! toyota is everything to the best they can. toyota went to the safety board with this problem and they were told it wasn't a neccessary recall but toyota did it anyways. after this was said on the radio, followed a new recall by dodge for a minivan. the issue in about 400,000 vans is the AIR BAG SENSOR GETS MESSED UP AND WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. a van trusted by 400,000 families to carry 7 ppl to soccer and it doesn't have air bags? this is a bigger deal! this is the part i like, dodge will not be fixing the part till end of june...... FAIL!!

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.....

2009 COROLLA crashes into house ...
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 .

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.

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?
