This isn't a "defect". The exact same thing happened to me in my Saturn L300 years before this recall with an aftermarket winter floor mat. Took about 5 seconds to solve the problem: transmission to neutral, brake hard, pull aside. The engine revs like mad but you can just shut it off once you've stopped. Simple stuff, obviously Toyota drivers are too retarded to figure it out.
Americans drive mostly automatic right?That third pedal is not the clutch, wtf is that?This was really strange to die cos acceleration is stuck.I'm noob driver, i hated the clutch when i learned to drive for killin my engine, but it seems there are good parts too to drivin a manual
@Olengher thats the parking break. You push it with your foot. Which makes me question why this guy didnt- Put the car into neutral, put on the parking brake, shut the engine off and pump the breaks, put the car so the max gear it goes into is 1 so it downshifts, or bent down to remove the mat- might as well try, if ya dont your gonna die, if you do die whilst doing it atleast you did something, or if you succeed great for you, get rid of that japanese import peice of shit.
@ClubbySuperCharged wouldnt lock up unless you pumped it enough and had some strong legs. Every pump of the pedal pumpes more and more brake fluid into the caliper. Therefore the more brake fluid the more pressure on the pad and the more stopping power. And I'd want my brakes to lock up and me loose control rather than slamming head on into a wall at 120mph or more.
i had only problems with Toyota, something bad happened whiting that companies management or watever, and i feel sad to see the reputation die away !!!
Toyota needs to go out of business this is only part of the problem . Complete bull shit. I just saw another toyota recall on the news i walked by my tv just now. Why the fuck is this crappy company still in business its even been known for a while toyotas quality has always been on the low end.
@getnhigh247 it hasn't mate. It turned out after NASA tests finished yesterday that there was nothing wrong with the car. It was all American government propaganda to make sure GM recovered. Yeah, what all Americans call a free and fair market. LOL
The fact that Toyota tops 2010 auto sale, despite the recalls and bombardment of demagoguery by NHTSA, Small 3 and their cronies tells that Toyota is the best atuto manufacturer in the the world by far.
@dave1sfx I am into old cars, so I don't really know, but I wouldn't be surpriced if those computerized horseless carriages had a feature that you can't shift to neutral of switch off, if accelerator is floored :D
This is what you get when the auto maker goes cheap. According to the video, the floor mat only appears to be anchored in one location. And since it is also cheap and flimsy, it will likely become unhooked and slide around. It is not clear from the video that the mat interferes with the gas pedal in any significant way.
I've been looking at a number of new cars lately and all of the automakers find some way to skimp on things that don't cost a lot to get right the first time.
Toyota is a primary example of a money grubbing, excuse making, marketing is greater than decent product quality CORPORATION. Toyota heads need to stop spending so much time in the circle jerk office, and more time in the R&D/engineering dept.
Ok, stop trying to blame the floor mats and take responsibility for your fucked up gas pedals Toyota!!!! Those mats are not heavy enough to hold down those pedals. We are not stupid Toyota!!!!! We should be able to see that the mat is on top of the pedal and should be able to PULL IT UP!!!!
Support and buy USA domestic products... Demand it request it do it . At stores and on line. If you want American workers to get back a decent living. Honest fair decent wages. Not slave wages. Come out of the fog dont be a Spellbound on your knees fool to the unscrupulous Businesses and politicans that think they are our kings. they are not. Work for less or else-will leave for cheaper laxed ruled countries ect,ect, and train them to do your work. We must stop this. Support fair wages
... Praying seems a bit fucking stupid when there are infact 5-6 different ways to 100% stop any car. From simply putting it in neutral to hitting the brakes. Turning the ignition off, using the handbrake.. praying? pathetic idiots. Dead or not. Thats just stupid. Ive tried this myself and the car does NOT keep going when youre standing on the brakes while pushing the gas.
And.. If people cant be responsible for their own god damn floormats, they got NO business being in a car.
They had time to get on the phone to the cops but no thought went into actually stopping or avoiding the crash. Amazing stupidity. Some people shouldnt be allowed to have a car.
ooh but americans are automatically heroes arent they. So what we got here is JAPAN KILLING INNOCENT AMERICAN HEROES !!! They should go to war over this. They have after all gone to war over lesser reasons before.
Im so glad both me and my country is immune to lame american threats.
I wasnt being hostile. But I know any hint of criticism, irony or sarcasm is answered with OMG.. HE HATES AMERICA.
On a totally seperate note. Imagine if americans just once admitted fault or agreed that well... in this instance, the entire anti Toyota smear campaign was just a limp wristed attack on the strongest player on the american market so claw back some desperately needed marketshares.
i think the whole floormat bullshit is just that, BULLSHIT if you look when the guy in the video places the pedal under the mat the pedal returns allmost to its starting position(little to no throttle) for a car to be going 120MPH+ the pedal would have to be on the FLOOR try again toyota..... TOYOTA. moving forward, even if you dont want to
Ofcourse its bullshit. The way he puts the god damn mat on top of his pedals... And were supposed to go. OOOH.. ITS TRUE. THEY ARE KILLING US. Whereas infact I believe you can do that with any car in the entire world.
just lift your feet and pull the mat back . he got this accident because he was an idiot . he still managed to make a phone call during this wild drive ,but he cant pick up a damn mat .
99% of people who crashed because of a floor mat shouldnt have a license. if you dont understand how to put a car in neutral let alone move a fuc@%#@ floor mat!!!
hell slam on the brakes and a bet the car would have stopped if not slowed! but no he had the time to call the police, hell im more concerned that he was dialing on his phone while goin 120 mph. god dam this is a cop too!
This person should not have been driving a car. If he'd just put the car into neutral or switch the ignition off he wouldn't have wiped out his family. Why don't people use there common sense anymore, he must've spent at least 2 minutes dialling 911 but he could've stopped the car in 20 seconds max.
@mkmmotorsports lol maybe on a v6. Most people I know who have a 4 cylinder Toyota have their foot on the pedal halfway regularly, and hitting the floor is not rare.
me and my dad test drove a tacoma in 2005 and the floor mat was jammed between the flloor and accelerator... the car wouldnt start until we pulled it out!! toyota knew about this for a long time but didnt say anything!!
@chrysleristhebest, Toyota has known about the problem since at least 2005. In 2006, the Japanese government scolded Toyota for simply turning their heads to the issue.
No matter how many recalls, Toyota is and still remains a better quality car overall than any GM, Chevy, Chrysler or Ford junk....guaranteed! This is just a glitch and will only improve things at Toyota....
@1qazabcd, Toyota'a quality has been going downhill really fast for years now, do you honestly believe they're much better made than anything out there other than maybe Kia or Hyundai? I hear Suzuki is pretty bad too, but I hardly ever even see one of those.
That is a very common misconception and there's little truth to it at all. The reality is the opposite.
@shred5 All I know is that Subaru is the best Japanese car out there. Toyota and Honda and close behind. Kia, Hyundai and Suzuki are not even in the same league.
Also, every GM or Ford that I've own has been absolute crap. Crap quality and crap service. I'm only talking from experience not but the statistics Fox news covers.
@1qazabcd, never had a problem with a GM car, but I would not buy a Chevolet either. Subaru was good years ago but they would rust out within 3 years back then. Newer ones aren't good. They seem to always die around 130k or earlier, and even the local Subaru dealers told me look at something else if you're looking at a used Subaru with over 40k miles.
Never had a problem with Hondas in the 80s but newer ones are average at best.
And I dont watch Fox. Fox is for uneducated rednecks.
@xxBlackpspxx it was probably an automatic. He could have tried downshifting into 3, 2, 1 to slow down then throw it in neutral, hit the brakes and quickly shut the car before the engine blows and the car catches on fire -- hence the name "fiery death recall."
@talonsdehuats u can turn off the moter or u can pul the gir to N and then start to braeke but ther is to manye stuped ppl how cant do that then they crash or u kan take away the matt withe ur foot but amarican is stuped ppl !!!!!
Just out of curiosity, what does the general public expect from the overarching term of "safety"? Is safety defined by the features that the car has to offer or is it how one feels when driving the car or is it something else? How do we define the word "safe" when it pertains to automobiles?
Why do we hear so much about Toyota when Honda has a more serious problem with their airbag. A defective airbag that has been linked to one death and 11 injuries in the United States over the past few years is still haunting Honda as the company today announced that it is adding 437,763 cars to its existing global safety recall over the airbag inflation problem
@FordmanHaulit3002010 Hey Fordman, remember that 70's lawsuit with the Pinto? I did some research and discovered that this poor design has never been fixed, lawsuits continue to this day. Ford admits in court they have no plans to fix the exploding gas tanks in their cop cars and pickup trucks. The last lawsuit was 2008. 14 cops have been burned alive from this so far. By the way GM also suffered the same problem, but settled for a recall and ate 495 mill in damages.

It's government propaganda to save American car makers. My family has been driving Toyotas in Canada for half a century already and never had a problem.
I know people are making a big deal about this recall, saying this is why to buy a domestic... Seriously? Are you forgeting about the bankruptcy basically all domestics went through about a year ago for listening to their customers? What about that Ford Pinto lawsuit series in the 70s (car exploded on rear end impact)? They never did a recall, bc it was cheaper to pay the lawsuits! Seen Roger and Me? GM puts a town on the streets so they could export the plant to Mexico, ya lets buy from them.
recalling cars for floormats is like recalling cars to empty the ashtray or adjust the seats. If people cant be responsible for their own god damn floormats, they got no business being in a car.
quote myself "America is a country inhabited by humans and it is NOTHING, boy, compared to the human RACE.", I shouldn't say NOTHING, it's more like a drop in the ocean.
BTW, Toyota is a global company and they care about profits of their shareholders so I highly doubt it's to their benefit of deliberately making cars that kill citizens of some particular country.
Every big corporation lies to safeguard profits of its shareholders. HP fired 9000 employees and replacing them by a machine to increase profits of its shareholders. So, your point about Toyota is moot, boy.
sep0507, you are delusional. You think the US will last longer than the human race? Let me tell you, BOY, the human race has been around for million of years. The US is just over 200 years old. You think WW2 was out of the ordinary? Let me tell you something, BOY, humans have had wars for millions of years and war is in human nature. America is a country inhabited by humans and it is NOTHING, boy, compared to the human RACE.
America stands for peace? Is this why America INVADED a center of civilization Iraq ( ancient Babylon ) based on a LIE of weapons of mass destruction and ending up killing millions of innocent civilians? Is this why millions of Native Americans were killed on purpose by giving them small-pox infected blankets? Is this why millions of Africans were enslaved for hundreds of years, resulting in the deaths of millions of Africans? Is this why America still has the KKK around?
Generalization much? 99.9% of Chinese citizens are happy. America is on the way down due to committing the unforgivable crime of invading ancient Babylon ( Iraq ) unlawfully. Ancient Babylon is just as famous as ancient Egypt. Wonder why everybody else hates America so much now?
You speak of a very limited timeframe. The USA is just over 200 years old. The PRC is just over 70 years old. The human RACE is millions of years old. Come back in 200 years and we'll talk.
Pride leads to arrogance, arrogance leads to downfall. Simple as that. BTW, just because YOU say America is the world's most wonderful country doesn't make it so. America can't even tackle Iraq or Afghanistan.
@JeremyFuhenstasser You're right. Your arrogance led to your downfall because of the unrelated BS you chose to insert in your comments. BTW, it's not only ME stating that America is the best place to live for those seeking freedoms not allowed in other countries, including CHINA, boy. Look at the immigration stats to find the truth for yourself, boy.
Less than 0.01% of Chinese people ever emigrate, and over 99.9% of Chinese people are happy in their country. I immigrated from China to Canada with my parents simply because my dad is a scientist and works here. I still love my native country China. How DARE you make such a nasty comment about my native country China? You have no right, since you were not born and raised in China. How would you like it if I make a nasty comment of the USA?
There used to be nasty propaganda in China about the US as well. At the end of the day, propaganda is just that, propaganda. You and I do not need to hate each other. We are both proud descendants of Adam and Eve, no matter where we live. However, let me tell you something. You insult China, then you insult my family. So I'd be cautious what comments you make about China.

@uztoobz I've told him repeatedly he's off topic, but the moron doen't get it. If you've noticed, I haven't answered his latest comment and won't. You can't educate a melonhead.
@uztoobz What's sad is you pretending to be the Tube regulator. If I'm a troll, than you're a moron for commenting anyway. I've spent MONTHS on this video to your 10 minutes, so fuck off and go play somewhere else, little boy.
I'm not gonna bother wasting my breath on someone (sep0507) who calls Toyota "yoyota". There is no point arguing against blindness and arrogance. One thing I say is "I'm from China and I like Toyota". That's my opinion and you are free to have yours.
Look what happened in the 1930s during Nazi Germany. Hitler and the Nazis scapegoated Jews by "proving" that Jews were an evil bunch. Media and mass hysteria that followed is what led to the Holocaust and the killing of millions of innocent people. It happened in Germany. It could happen again, this time in America. Propaganda, media, and public fear can do a lot of things, even when people are not entirely sure of what they are doing.
The american arrogance makes the american media blind. American media will never question anything that puts americans above foreigners. Because after all... what could possibly be better than GODS OWN COUNTRY.
If you are relying on media companies like AP for your information you are missing the real news. In the 89 deaths listed this week by NHTSA Carquestions finds NHTSA hiding a few facts, like the majority are over 75 and Police reports that state the driver was at fault not the car.
@carquestions If the NHTSA was hiding facts, as you say, why did Toyota PAY a $16 million fine? They admitted without admitting that there's a problem with their cars. Police reports are written at the scene of an accident. Investigations have altered the facts, but that doesn't mean the report itself was changed. You write as if NTHSA is out to get yoyota, but that's laughable. They investigate and report the FACTS. PERIOD.
@sep0507 Why pay a fine if your not guilty? Millions of people pay fines every year rather than argue in court, its just not worth their time or money. Get around this FACT - NHTSA is listing a 2000 Camry with a cable type gas pedal as a 2002. The police got it right an NHTSA got it wrong no two ways about it. In case you didn't know the whole issue is around computer controlled gas pedals, of which there are none in a 2000 Camry
@sep0507 Look bonehead, when you make a public statement that goes nation wide you have people check for spelling and typos so you don't end up looking ridiculous. In fact it wasn't a typo at all because if that was true you are saying that they meant to list the car correctly s a 2000? If that was true it would be a mistake as well. Do you have any more excuses or is that it? Thats the trouble with America isn't it? It's filled with excuse abusers.
@carquestions Your opinion, I presume. I trust the NTHSA far more than I trust any advocate for ANY car company, including you. If mistakes were made, it still doesn't negate the systemic failure on toyotas part. They lied to NTHSA to save millions while Americans died in their vehicles. Shame on toyota, and anyone who champions for them.
@sep0507 I don't work or get paid by any car company, never have never will. You on the other hand are just carrying on a propaganda on behalf of Ford? GM? UAW? You do remember nuts like you going after Audi and being wrong don't you? You do know no one has ever found a car anywhere in the world that accelerates by itself don't you?
@carquestions....I fail to see where propoganda fits in to the deaths of those driving yoyotas with faulty electronic speed sensors. Never said they accelerate by themselves. They just don't stop accelerating once you press the gas pedal down.
@carquestions.....Unrelated to the yoyota problems, but thanks for calling my attention to a right wing idiot posting comments on my channel. Oh, and the PofTY award, I get to pass that to the next recipient, you.
@Janusha Where have you been? It's already been established that toyota blamed their floormats for an obvious electonic malfunction. They manted to save the company money by not recalling their products for anything costly like a computer replacement. They LIED to the feds and are paying the price now. As soon as stupid American consumers wake up toyota will be finished!
@sep0507 You need to ask yourself.. Who tells you these things. The media ? Who tells the media these things ? The big car companies in USA are desperate to claw themselves back to the top of the american market. This is nothing but a transparent attempt at discrediting a quality brand that happens to have a very firm grip on the american market. Why do you think this happens ONLY in america. Could it be because americans are trying to cash in from lawsuits. This is a storm in a glass of water.
@Janusha So you're a conspiracy nut? You believe the BIG3 conspired to have toyota knocked down? How about the FACTS, nimrod. Yoyota LIED about safety issues to AVOID a major recall. The media didn't dream that up and either did Detroit. It isn't just floor mats, it's electronic or electrical. It hasn't happened ONLY in America. It's worldwide. The recall is worldwide. You're an idiot drowing in a glass of water.
Again.. who tells you these things. Outside USa its seen as a minor technicality. I guess americans are thrilled that someone else makes mistakes too. Not only them. Imagine how many americans have died over the years due to cast iron, leafsprung american build quality. Any sensible american should shut the hell up.
@Janusha......Minor technicality? Peoples lives lost is a minor technicality? You're cold, dude, and ignorant. There have been plenty of product liability cases against "American built" cars. Just because you're in love with yoyota doesn't make them LESS LIABLE when they do wrong. They got caught, PERIOD. Personally, Americans should wake up and quit buying foreign cars. It weakens America and makes Her dependent on foreign entities.
haha silly arse. People die every day. Cars crash or break down. Thats what cars do. They arent forever. And if you believe american cars are a shining example in build quality and safety that the rest of us can only aspire to... Then you are incredibly wrong.
If Toyota doesnt admit to any faults with their cars, its because they cant find any. This is nothing but a see-through lame attempt at discrediting a prefectly fine brand that happens to have a very healthy grip on the american market.
Interesting that you should mention being dependent on foreign entities.. Coming from an american. America is technically bankrupt but are driven by trillions of dollars borrowed from communist china and muslim arabia. Bad move perhaps. However.. if USA were able to produce decent cars, americans wouldnt be forced to buy European and Japan to get some quality.
@Janusha...Americans aren't forced to buy European or jap cars. They just happen to make BAD buying decisions. Spending their hard earned money to support some jap kids education seems pointless to me. People can only buy what's offered for sale, and there's enough America haters selling foreign products to accomodate them. China & japan manipulates their currency making their exports more attractive. Level the playing field and their imports won't be so popular.
@Janusha....yoyota won't admit there's anything WRONG with their cars. That would be a business killer, and we all know they don't want that. They just quietly go about the business of recalling most of the cars they've built because it's a fun thing to do. LOL Yopu think it's a conspiracy by American media and car companies, but the REAL CONSPIRACY lies with yoyota. They're the ones who LIED about their products being safe so they could save millions. That's a FACT.
If americans had made anything close to quality cars that people were interested in they wouldnt have died. There you go. No Jap / euro car company died versus EVERY SINGLE american car company topling over, one behemoth after the other In the most spectacular display of mismanagement and arrogance the world has ever seen. Gm alone abandoned 90 factories and went from 80 000 workers to 7000 in Michigan. Pff.. talking about Toyotas quality. Admit US-cars are shit before you get some credibility.
how the fuck does removing the floor mat or securing the floor mat justify a god damn recall. Instead of calling 911 WHILE DRIVING, how about looking at your feet or trying to stop the car. If you push the pedal to the floor you can still easily stop the brakes by hitting the brakes, the handbrake, turning the ignition off, putting the car in neutral.. ANY of these things willl stop a car. If you fail at all that then you have no business being in a car.
with all the respect to the life of another human, I have to say that if you know how to really drive a vehicle you would have to shift to neutral and after you are able to stop the vehicle with the BRAKES (I'm pretty sure they were working correctly) call 911 or whoever you want to to tell the story that your vehicle's accelerator got stuck...
By the way, does not Toyota have the Tundra pick up truck assembly plant in Texas?
This isn't a "defect". The exact same thing happened to me in my Saturn L300 years before this recall with an aftermarket winter floor mat. Took about 5 seconds to solve the problem: transmission to neutral, brake hard, pull aside. The engine revs like mad but you can just shut it off once you've stopped. Simple stuff, obviously Toyota drivers are too retarded to figure it out.

@ClubbySuperCharged wouldnt lock up unless you pumped it enough and had some strong legs. Every pump of the pedal pumpes more and more brake fluid into the caliper.

This is what you get when the auto maker goes cheap. According to the video, the floor mat only appears to be anchored in one location. And since it is also cheap and flimsy, it will likely become unhooked and slide around. It is not clear from the video that the mat interferes with the gas pedal in any significant way.
I've been looking at a number of new cars lately and all of the automakers find some way to skimp on things that don't cost a lot to get right the first time.

There are many videos up of ppl proving that the floor mats are definitely heavy enough to hold down the pedal.
and If you're ever in such a situation and your car is racing down the freeway at 100mph, I doubt you'll be down under your wheel pulling up anything.
Just keep your floor mats well maintained lol nbd.

i believe Americans should learn to check their vehicle before they drive it .
check the lights ,check the tires and oil.
and something like a floormat ,should be screwed to the floorboard .
in my car you have to unscrew a bolt in order to remove or lift up the mat . problem is not the toyota ,problem is the american savety inspections .
the people who import a car should learn to check the savety.
and if you buy a floormat ,its your job to check the savety.

@1qazabcd, never had a problem with a GM car, but I would not buy a Chevolet either. Subaru was good years ago but they would rust out within 3 years back then. Newer ones aren't good. They seem to always die around 130k or earlier, and even the local Subaru dealers told me look at something else if you're looking at a used Subaru with over 40k miles.
Never had a problem with Hondas in the 80s but newer ones are average at best.

with all the respect to the life of another human, I have to say that if you know how to really drive a vehicle you would have to shift to neutral and after you are able to stop the vehicle with the BRAKES (I'm pretty sure they were working correctly) call 911 or whoever you want to to tell the story that your vehicle's accelerator got stuck...
By the way, does not Toyota have the Tundra pick up truck assembly plant in Texas?
