| Description of the problem | This administration should demand that toyota fix the pedal issue immediately. Current owners should have the same fix as all new models with respect to this pedal issue. I took my car in for service and complained about this pedal issue about 2-3 years ago. I was told at that time by the technician that it was a fuel energy saving device. He made it sound that my car was safe. Therefore, i think toyota's records are flawed as to the exact number of complaints consumers (current owners) have made to service departments. In addition i purchased an additional 7 year extended warranty with my car through a toyota dealer. Toyota should be mandated by us gov to fix the issue for all current owners, regardless if car is under warranty. A total replacement is necessary immediately. I have always suspected that the pedal was not safe. I had many concerns about someone hitting me in the back end or me hitting someone else on my front end. Toyota has known about this issue too long and they should immediately fix it!! |
