    Automaker acts after 'isolated reports' of sticking accelerator pedals

    Toyota issued a recall for 2.3 million late model cars, SUVs and pickup trucks Thursday, acting after "isolated reports" of sticking accelerator pedals.

    This action is separate from an ongoing recall of about 4.2 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles to reduce the risk of pedal "entrapment" caused by floor mats, according to a news release issued by Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. About 1.7 million Toyota vehicles are subject to both recalls, the company said.

    “In recent months, Toyota has investigated isolated reports of sticking accelerator pedal mechanisms in certain vehicles without the presence of floor mats,” Toyota group Vice President Irv Miller said in the statement.

    In "rare instances" the accelerator pedal may stick in a partially depressed position or return slowly to the idle position, he said.

    Affected vehicles are:

    • 2009-2010 RAV4
    • 2009-2010 Corolla
    • 2009-2010 Matrix
    • 2005-2010 Avalon
    • 2007-2010 Camry
    • 2010 Highlander
    • 2007-2010 Tundra
    • 2008-2010 Sequoia

        Awesome. Just plain awesome. FINALLY American cars are getting out of the crap-tacular spotlight for a change.

        Of course, Toyota has 10 plants in the US, so maybe this doesn't bode well for the way Americans build cars, but AT LEAST it's not an American car company

          Off my head I can think of several friends affected by this. One just recently acquired his Corolla, coming out of a Pontiac. although I don't really blame him since he had a Wave...

          But these guys were the ones laughing at me for liking domestic cars. So I don't feel sorry for them and...

                Ya, Toyota is getting hammered on quality issues lately. They've also been accused of covering up safety issues.

                Their reputation is still good though. Sheeple take a long time to change their views.

                        Corollas have an open complaint on electric steering... might turn into a recall.

                        http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/09/toyo ... ring-woes/

                        Interesting is one of the comments:

                        JTEKT (a subsidiary of Toyota) supplies electric power steering (EPS) systems for Corolla/Matrix/Vibe/RAV4/Venza/RX350 built in North America.

                        JTEKT is currently in litigation with GM because the EPS systems used in the Cobalt/G5/HHR/Equinox/Sky/Vue/Torrent are incurring higher than expected failures.
                        NHTSA has a file open on the Cobalts.
                        And I found this:
                        http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/gm-sue ... -supplier/

                        So G6s with EPS have Toyota steering???

                          Why do you say that?

                          The article says G5, I see nothing about the 6, Malibu or Aura.
