Toyota Recalls

[eric81]

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."

Yes, the gas pedal. Even though our Yarii don't fall under the recall, I still think it is a great excuse if you get caught speeding!

"Sorry officer, but you know how the gas pedal sticks on these Toyotas!"

what happen it sticks? thanks i tried to search but couldn't find my answer

Your car is equipped with a unique stopping system called THE BRAKES! When your desire to keep moving ends, employ them to stop/counter that action. Works most every time!

He is from Malta so his Yaris should came from TMMF and this means RECALL.

How can you speed on Malta? It's a small island... there isn't enough runway to get to such high speeds



No offense, just trying to be funny here

That would rock! I'm kinda shocked we haven't heard of at least 1 person doing something like this to get revenge on someone, its the perfect excuse.

lol a coworker asked me if that's gonna be kyle busch's excuse when he wrecks this year. i was amused by the comment.

[goku87]

I'm still not understanding how it's the pedal. My money is that it's the ECU.

[frownonfun]

so now it's got nothing to do with floor mats?

[frownonfun]

but don't all vehicles' pedals use springs? and so wouldn't every vehicle be prone to having a spring lose tension over time? isn't that the nature of things... they wear out?

okay, when reading all this i thought the ppl who post now after the recall came out saying their yaris is acting messy (but never said anything before) i figured u guys are crazy!! bot has anyone found on the yaris the clutch sticks??it happened twice on my way home from work tonight. not exactly what the issue is, i believe it may be the carpet but tomorrow morning further investigation will be conducted. i do have an extra all season mat that came with the car ontop of the floor mats and wasn't installed correctly. i removed the floor mat and put the all season mat in and tied it down to factory hooks. if its the floor mat toyota should not give them away in the car!! if i install it myself i assume all risks. dont get me wrong i noticed a few times before it would kinda get stuck a bit but pop right back up. today gettign on the highway shifting from 2nd to 3rd was scarry.....
