Hey - Crashy should still be covered by warranty. I haven't found anything in the owners manual that says that plowing snow violates the warranty.

My car always takes off from a stop immediately when I touch the gas.
Something tells me driving like a grandma/hypermiling trains the ECU not to respond to light touches on the accelerator |

Have never had any acceleration problems with my 2007 sedan. It's actually more peppy off the start than the other two cars I've owned.

Yup, I've also felt a sort of a "dead spot" with mine. It takes some getting used to but it doesn't affect my driving.

LET ME CHIME IN HERE AND ACTUALLY ANSWER OP'S QUESTION.
yaris is EXCLUDED from recall due to the fact that its manufactured in JAPAN and our pedal/s do not come from the american source that is the problem.Which is also why LEXUS is not part of that recall also even though it was in the news LAST with a so called sticky pedal due to floor mats. Even though there are 8 models involved, NOT ALL will be getting the fix. All depends on WHO manufactured pedal and its betwen DENSO and CTS of which the CTS pedals are the ones in question....... NOW the kiddies can go back to fighting..........

Wow, anyone remember what the "unintended acceleration" problems did to Audi back in the late 70s-early 80s? The following is from Wikipedia...

since the toyota recall news...
I am sure the lady who just 'accelerated' into a laundromat, is a slap-happy lawsuit wannabe who did it intentionally just to gain attention in her sad boring life....you'll see |

yeah they kinda do. I have near molecular precision driving at slow speeds and can creep at any slow speed in my 4runner. that has a cable to the throttle body.
in any electronic drive, I just don't have that same precision. no matter what, there is a tiny jump from no throttle to small throttle. it blows. it doesn't matter much in real life, but when I am parking my 2 rigs back to back I can get so much closer with the 4runner than when driving the Yaris. |

As the ECU will monitor your driving habits and "tune" your engine acordinly, perhaps there is some sort of glitch in the ECU? Personally, I frequently access WOT. While the throttle response is never completely linear, (it is marketed as an economy car) I don't have anything that I would describe as hesitation with my '09 HB manual. |

sounds like the women here who drove over a parking barrier and rammed into a wall claiming the pedal was stuck.....

Well, maybe it wasn't intentional; but that doesn't mean it wasn't her fault/driver error and not the cars!

Ya, the american media is hoping they can achieve this effect by playing the toyota recall 24/7. I guess it makes sense since we all own a piece of the american car companies.

we may see a recall for the YARIS . A driver of a 2006 PRIUS had her car take off and crashed into a stream . Claims wasn't the pedal or the mat . Not sure if YARIS ( 1.5 ltr. engine ) and PRIUS ( 1.5 ltr engine ) use same unit made by C.T.S. and both are assembled in JAPAN . 2009 and 2010 PONTIAC VIBE now added to the list . Cars in CHINA and EUROPE will be recalling vehicles as well . Let's keep our fingers crossed .
