Toyota is beginning its recall of vehicles affected by the accelerator pedal getting stuck either in the floor mats or otherwise. To solve the problem, Toyota will shorten the gas pedals, plus change the floor mats.
Toyota has already notified customers to remove their old floor mats until a fix could be made.
In April 2010, Toyota will begin installing the redesigned pedals. They will also, if you want, repurchase or replace your floor mats.
A software modification is also being made. If the accelerator and the brake are pushed at the same time, the brake will override the gas pedal, ensuring you slow down. The software fix is being applied on the Camry, Avalon, and Lexus ES 350, IS 350 and IS 250 models.
