Toyota Recalls - Toyota Yaris Forums

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."
