Toyota says it will recall 3.8 million vehicles in the United States to address problems with a removable floor mat that could interfere with the vehicle's accelerator and cause a crash.

Wow, I heard about this on the news more than a week ago! Apparently Toyota asked dealers to check the floor mats, but now its turned into a full-blown recall!

 

I worked for Toyota seven years, and they really get pissed off if folks call it a recall. They are supposed to be called "campaigns". I guess that doesn't make it sound so bad, but you know, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, then guess what it probably is?

 

 

I know, pretty funny. The dealer I worked for was pretty good, but they kinda had a pompous *** attitude about the brand. I worked for Nissan before that and a Ford store for four years now, all of it in parts. I've discovered that they ALL have problems. I'm glad; that's how I make my living.

 

I'll second that, Chevy, Toyota, Nissan, Kia here

 

+1, the idea that none of them have issues is silly. I mean, they're made by humans, and humans, as we all know, are flawed, therefore everything they dew is flaue2#@*!!$+++NO CARRIER

 

Heh a floor mat recall. I've had that problem happen once though in one of my old novas with some Wally world floor mats. Scary **** when it goes wot and stays there

 

Remove floor mat. Problem solved.

 

I'm suprised they have a floor mat recall this day an age. all other makes had those in the 90's and installed hooks that your mats attach so this doesn't happen.

 

hey now, most toyota owners wouldnt understand any of that technobabble! they aren't mechanics for pete's sake!

 

Glad my 2006 double cab Toyota Tacoma 4x4 isn't under this recall......love my 2010 mustang and my Tacoma...
