I feel for those who have to slam on the brakes and then put it in neutral to glide to side of road . Not all will have these conditions . Better hope no one is close behind them and that an opening will be available to pull to side of road . Could be quite difficult in a 2 > 4 lane interstate at high speeds . Wonder if TOYOTA knows that not everyone will have ideal conditions to stop their vehicle to get to the side of road .

The gas pedals, after extreme wear, usually in high heat or high humidity areas, sometimes start to feel sticky (reacting slow and a little harder to push down). Here's how to tell if your car MIGHT have an issue...
1. Get into drivers seat. 2. Without putting the key in the ignition, simply put the gas pesdal all the way down. 3. Release gas pedal as fast as you can, and see if it comes back slower than you are comfortable with. It should take less than 1 second to go back to original position. If it is sticky or slow, you may have a vehicle that needs this fix. Pass this on to ALL car owners, as the company that makes those parts for the Toyota's also makes parts for almost all other manufacturers. Toyota is fixing a problem before it becomes a problem. Technically, the part is mostly wearing in cars AFTER they run out of their initial warranty, so they don't HAVE to fix anything. They are just doing the right and moral thing by fixing them. Not to mention they have less problems with their cars than any other manufacturer out there. "There is no best, only better." |

Yes, the gas pedal. Even though our Yarii don't fall under the recall, I still think it is a great excuse if you get caught speeding!

That would rock! I'm kinda shocked we haven't heard of at least 1 person doing something like this to get revenge on someone, its the perfect excuse.
