The New York Times reports that Toyota has announced that its dealerships will “provide replacement accelerator pedals to owners unhappy with repairs” after a series of cases of unintended acceleration in cars that have already been through the recall process. According to the report, “’Accelerator pedal replacement is based on specific customer request only,’ said the memo, which was addressed to dealers, service managers and parts managers. ‘Dealers are not to solicit pedal replacement.’”
If you have had your vehicle “repaired” following the recall, but still experience problems with your automobile, please return it to the dealer immediately. If you are not getting a prompt response from your local dealer, you are encouraged to contact Toyota’s national customer service center at 1-800-331-4331.
Drive safely.
