I have to give Toyota an atta boy for stopping production and or sales due to throttle issues. Of course they may have just needed a reason to slow down production as the sticking throttle seems to be a none issue. Supposedly it occurs over time as the linkage wears, if so then some of the responsibility could be placed on the consumer. If the throttle requires extra effort to move then have it checked if it is a recall or not.
2.3 million vehicles will be affected after they just recalled 1.09 million vehicles for floor mat interference with the throttle they earlier recalled 4.6 million for the same problem.
Only a small percentage of the vehicles will be affected, 1 in 100,000, as only the parts built by CTS Corp. are causing problems. The local dealer is advertising a free inspection, as it should be, but if your vehicle is affected they will give you a car to drive until a repair is available.
I remember the days of the Explorer or as it came to be called the exploder when they were rolling over and it ended up to be a tire issue, still have some doubts over that conclusion. Remember the pinto and the Chevy pickups with side tanks that would burst into flames when involved in an accident. Although none of these occurred while the vehicle was still in production but they seemed to drag their feet on the recalls.
I hope the big three take note of this action by Toyota and finally wake up and put the safety and customer satisfaction first in future recalls.
