Toyota Recall

Toyota recently announced a recall of at least 8 different models due to a problem where gas pedals may stick. They have not yet announced a solution, but if the gas pedal sticks and you can't stop accelerating:

1. shift to neutral and make a controlled stop
2. do not pump the brakes, as this will deplete power assist

I think this belongs in World News. As for the topic, I find Toyota a reliable brand of vehicles. I feel that the recall, would be neccessary for safety. I certainly wouldn't want my car to accelerate out-of-control.

yeah, the tricky part was the "Y", but I couldn't help but make that image when I saw the thread. It was only made better by the quote above the title.

I should also say; Thanks!

Add me to the list of people who laughed out loud. Great work man!

Edit: I also love how the spambot picked such an appropriate name for this forum.

he's not a spambot... he posted a webpage of his own notes in the "post your notes" thread.

Given that my Mam drives a Toyota Corolla I got a little worried there...until I realised it's only the bloated yank cars with no gears that are fecked up. That's OK then.
