| Description of the problem | toyota replaced my accelerator pedal back when they had cars that would unintentionally accelerate. Nothing had been proven wrong with my pedal, there were no symptoms. However, tundra was doing a nationwide recall in the name of safety concerns. When the car was returned to me, the pedal was just floppy and sensitive as could be. The car would just launch itself forward. Hitting bumps on the road caused the car to accelerate. This recall was done at 28k miles. Now at 65k miles, with my family in the car. I was at a stop light and went to accelerate. There was no friction or pedal feel whatsoever, the car accelerated and thank god due to rain, instead of being propelled, i skid forward about a foot. There was a massive amount of sensitivity and pedal feel was gone. ***this on the supposed "fixed" pedal. I took the car to toyota dealership in gainesville, gatorland toyota where the vehicle was purchased. They tested the car and because they couldn't reproduce the problem, they stated they would do nothing about it. Not even replace the pedal again. There are plenty of toyota owners on the internet complaining that things are still wrong with the accelerator pedals and nothing is being done about it. Toyota has vehicles on the road that could potentially launch themselves and they are doing nothing about it. Toyota case number: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
