Description of the problem | It is reported regarding the toyota sudden acceleration recall that for owners who have had the first attempt to correct the problem (install metal reinforcement bars in the accelerator) and the attempt did not work toyota would replace the entire accelerator assembly at the vehicle owner's request. I have had problems with the unintended acceleration, had the first repair attempt completed and i still have the problem. I called my local toyota dealer where i purchased the vehicle and was told that toyota will now refuse to perform this second attempt until next month when another different type of "fix" will be scheduled (shaving the accelerator pedal). My vehicle does not have floor mats and i find this excuse unacceptable. |
