Many Toyota owners are well aware that several models have been placed on a recall list due to a rare but serious issue of unintended acceleration. On Monday, Toyota finally addressed the root cause of this problem in a press release. Jim Lentz, President and Chief Operating Officer of Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), emphasized in the statement, "Nothing is more important to us than the safety and reliability of the vehicles our customers drive." He further expressed regret over the concerns caused by these recalls and assured customers that every effort is being made to rectify the situation swiftly. Although halting production is never an easy decision, Lentz confirmed their unwavering confidence in this move. They now understand the exact cause of the sticky accelerator pedals and have clear steps to resolve it. Above all, they are committed to fixing this problem in vehicles currently on the road.

The affected Toyota models include:

  • Certain 2009-2010 RAV4
  • Certain 2009-2010 Corolla
  • 2009-2010 Matrix
  • 2005-2010 Avalon
  • Certain 2007-2010 Camry
  • Certain 2010 Highlander
  • 2007-2010 Tundra
  • 2008-2010 Sequoia

In an unprecedented move, Toyota announced they would halt production of these recalled vehicles starting this week. This precautionary step aims to prevent any more defective vehicles from reaching consumers and ensures smoother repairs for their loyal customers. Such rapid action is typically reserved only for the most critical issues requiring immediate attention.

By February 2, 2010, replacement parts began arriving at authorized dealerships to address the acceleration problems. The repair process takes about one and a half hours, during which the faulty part will be removed and replaced with high-quality Genuine Toyota components. Additionally, dealerships will install a small reinforcement bar to eliminate unnecessary friction in the pedal.

If you encounter this rare issue, it's recommended to pull over safely and later bring your vehicle to a Kansas City Toyota dealership for prompt resolution. If you're already aware of the problem, scheduling an appointment for the repair might be wise given the volume of service requests.
