Toyota Recalls - Corolla, Camry, Matrix, Highlander, Tundra, Sequoia, Avalon, Rav4, Pontiac Vibe

Carquestions investigates the inside story behind Toyota's recall involving a stuck gas pedal. Its being reported that it could be the most expensive recall in history. This could also be a problem for other manufacturers who use similar systems if it turns out to be a software bug or shared common part. This is a good example of how expansive and expensive a recall can be when you use common parts. The parts company that made the gas pedal, CTS (a Canadian company) has supplied Ford, GM and Chrysler among others.

Best solution: Don't buy a Toyota.

[carquestions]

@KillgoreES88 Don't buy a Toyota, GM, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda....or any other vehicle if you are prone to stepping on the gas when you should be stepping on the brake - the final report made it clear it wasn't a vehicle problem it was a driver problem - so ride a bike and turn in your licence if you can't hit the brake instead of the gas.

dude, the best solution to this problem,is to eleminate the computer, AND PUT A MECHANICAL FALL BACK IN THE MIX! lol putting a computer in the place of a cable was STUPID!!! we all know the problems we have with our computers these days,and im a computer freak,but i sure wouldnt trust my life to one...

[carquestions]

@MetalHeadHippies It can't be done, every car bus and truck runs off computers. Hell my 03 Harley has one. To date no Toyotas or any other car I can think of has ever been found to accelerate out of control by itself as a result of a computer fault. They are just unproven claims - less every day as the EDR computer proves 100% the people are stepping on the gas.

I think people in USA still lives the time of T-Ford: In it was brake the right pedal..

[redneckrollercoast1]

well if that just open wide like that its not gona get the proper air fuel mixure because of the injecters will still be feeding less fuel but if the softwere is F up then that is possible but other than that i don't think its the pedal or the motor for the TB.

the mat is a problem when it is properly installed and the brackets are locked in their place in the ground not by just throwing the mat on the pedal....

the existence of an electronic throttle makes it impossible to turn the car on if any electrical malfunction occurs..or turn it off sort of speech!..my cressida would start even if the dinamo is disabled and it would run just fine :D
