Not just Toyota...

I posted that in Toyota a few days ago. Same pedals. Stuck Accelerator: it's not just for Toyota any more! ;)

I think Chrysler should check the mats first.

At least Chrysler gave the real reason for the pedal problem and didn't bullshit the public for months like Toyota did.

Or the nut behind them.

Perhaps it took that long for Toyota to find the real problem? Chrysler already had the leg work done for them.

Just a general note about the Toyota recall: We took our Avalon into the dealership to have the recommended updates performed. Note that we had never had the slightest problem with this car.

Nontheless, they performed the work quickly and at no cost to us.

A short time later, we noticed that the transmission was acting up on this car.

We took it back today, fearing the worst, but it turns out the programming was altered during the work, and the tranny had to be reprogrammed to get back to the original drive characteristics.

For us, Toyota treated us well. The car never had a problem, but the somewhat enigmatic recall problems were addressed, as were the reprogramming issues that surfaced after the recall work.

I am still a strong Toyota supporter. After having been passed over and peed on by GM for several decades, this is still much better than what we had before.

C'mon, GM. Shape up.

So Toyota didn't want all their memos from over a year ago printed that showed they KNEW what the problem was. Did they think that their stupid owners would actually believe it was a "floor mat" problem?

A problem with a stuck pedal is easy to find and replicate. Therefore, it's an easy fix and a recall makes sense. How do you fix a problem that happens rarely and cannot be duplicated? I'm glad you believe that Toyota knows what the problem is - I don't.
