Toyota's " Death Pedal " autopsy - Lateral-g Forums

Here is a link to the difference between the two pedals Toyota uses. My teenage daughters drive a Toyota and I made sure they know what to do for a stuck throttle pedal.

Pedal assembly is not the issue and Toyota knows it...and has known about it for years.

Enlighten me, I can see the pedal being an issue, but what else can cause this?

I'd be willing to lay odds it's an electrical issue and not the pedal assembly,just like it wasn't the floormats like Toyota wanted you to believe.

Give it time,it'll all come out...

This is true it will come out. But I doubt its electrical, there would be many more complaints. Electrical interference, maybe..........

What kind of odds, I might take that bet.

The floormat excuse was weak, but this pedal flaw and explanation seems plausible? If not they are digging a pretty deep hole...

oh... looks like we may need a bookie for the betting

I'm thinking it's more than just the gas pedal as well.
They are in big trouble either way. I do believe there are a couple of really big lawsuits against them.
Not to mention the whole other issue of the Prius having problems with it's brakes. DOUBLE WHAMMY!!!!
