Toyota Recalls

The ABS light and brake light come on because of corrosion of the parts and it costs between $400 to $600 per side to fix. If you didn't buy the extended warranty you are out almost 1200 bucks. I called Toyota's customer service line and asked if a fix was in the works and basicly got hung up on. Toyota has become the new GM. Buy the car and we don't want to see you again.

No thanks, don't raise my bottom line because you decide to live somewhere that destroys cars.

And we shouldn't give any federal fund to California because you want to support all those illegal aliens!

even better, just makes the point that 2 owners were too lazy or dense to move the mat away from the pedals.

Lots and lots and lots of stupid comments from people that know NOTHING about what is happening....moving the matt will not stop the engine from revving in many cases, and there were 200+ issues not just 2....come on guys do a little reading!!

The issue is the accelerator mechanism (sometimes even if the peddle is not stuck depressed) and/or the programming of the ECU.

And the issue is beyond the accellerator and ECU to because cars with a start/stop button show the button as ineffective during such anamolies.

Please provide a link so I can read. Everything I've seen has said "less than a dozen"

The NTC has hundreds of reports, and of all those reports of such a problem, 40% come from Toyota alone.

It's ALL OVER the internet....but here is just one which speaks to the accellerator mechanism....which may be just part of the problem:

I just watched this video this morning. Very informative. I am the manufacturing manager for a company who designs and produces medical devices. One thing I can definitively say about ANY manufacturing process is that no matter what you may specify on your print or your process descriptions, there will ALWAYS be some deviation from that. If toyota specifies that the finish on that guide pin installed on the pedal mechanism must be to a certain specification, if that production run is a large batch at a time (which i am sure it must be) how often do you think CTS is changing their tooling? Or if they buy the machined pin and collar from another machine shop, how well rounded is THAT company's QA and QC system?.. With so many different manufacturing processes going into this system, from wiring to soldering to plastics molding and machining, it may take them a little while to find the root cause. Everyone is saying "its this and its that", but I can almost guarantee is it something small that is either a deviation of toyota's specified process of manufacture, or it is something associated with lack of QC either by factory workers or subcontractors for toyota. Hopefully nobody gets hurt in the mean time.

On another note, it could be the floor mats... ha!

Start/Stop Button works flawless. Depending on the car you have to press it for 3 seconds or you have to hit it several times while the engine is running. Of course it does not cut off the engine with a single short hit, because you might hit the button accidentially while driving.
