ya on tacoma world someone was saying you can put it in neutral while moving but not while wot

[TacoVon]

all the news report I've heard don't include tacomas but I got a recall notice to reshape the gas pedal. This is confusing. Is there a safety issue with our trucks or not? I don't get it.

There is two similar problems that involves Toyotas.  The Tacos have the floor Mat.  Basically you are not supposed to use the carpet Mat and the ''All weather together''.  If you use All weather, they MUST BE Toyota (that's what they say anyway.  I Bought mine at crappy Tire).  The second Recall is for the Sticking accelerator which the Tacomas are not part of it.  Some Toyotas have both issues, The Tacos only have the Mat issue.

Its a conspiracy!  The American government owns GM, they need to boost sales so they are being anal with Toyota.  There really is no problem  , its all a lie.  Have you had issues with your taco?  I havent.  These problems dont really exist.  Its just the MAN, F the MAN!

hahaha ya i have thought that too. I bet ya that its all a marketing scheme to take down toyota sales.

I have weathertechs as well so no rush here either. But I think I may get it done.

I was watching CNN last night and some professor was suggesting that the pedals aren't the problem at all, its the electronics in the vehicles( not just Toyota).   When you hit magnetic interference (such as powerlines, cell phones, etc)  it throws the electronics right off.  It did make a lot of sense

haha see blowing things out of proportion. they go from mats getting stuck under your pedal to pedals neding adjustments to linkage to electronics, my god whats next?

I didn't get any recall letter but I did get a New buyer survey... After I completed it I was invited to join the Toyota club, I registered my info,selected a password etc, upon revisiting I can't log in, Maybe they didn't like my comments in the survey
