| Description of the problem | We received a recall letter on our 2008 camry due gas pedal problem. We took the camry in for the recall. The dealer shaved the pedal down. This is the fix for the run away camry's. The fix is very sloppy and makes the car uncomfortable to drive due the pedal being so short now. I call toyota they said that was the approved fix. They did give me a case number and said someone would call in 3 days. The fix seems to be a lot more unsafe now than before. |
