I was wondering: Are there any Toyota owners on the list who have actually worked on, or at least looked at, the type of gas pedal that is giving all the trouble? I finally saw a Toyota pres release

What was interesting to me is that this is a media event. My Eagle Talon was recalled in 1996 for a sticking throttle and nothing was said. Guess it isn't any fun scaring anyone if it's a small segme

What I have been told is the following. Toyota tried to put a "feel" into the pedal so that it was not a normal DBW feeling...like my MINI which is essentially a on and off switch. Same feeling all t

With respect, Moose, I believe the problem goes deeper than that. I don't fully understand the issues, but one of the people killed was a 20 year veteran of the California Highway Patrol. After 20 y

At least one of the cars in question has a push button start/stop, not a key based one, as I understand it. It'll be interesting to hear what the real story is about all this. I'm not really buying
