Toyota Recall - Accelerator Pedal may get stuck [merged]

[Monseratto]

The problem seem to be where the part was sourced from. The local RAV4 is made in Japan.

According to an application to China's quality control office, it wants to recall 75,552 RAV4 vehicles there.

Toyota wants to recall the RAV4 vehicles in China from 28 February.

The cars in question were manufactured between 19 March 2009 and 25 January 2010 in Tianjin, according to a notice on the website of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China.

The specifics of the recall in Europe have yet to be decided.

Colin Hensley, general manager of Toyota's European operations, said the carmaker was trying to establish how many European models shared the parts used in the cars recalled in the US.

The problem part comes from one U.S. supplier and does not affect models that use parts from different suppliers, Takeuchi said. Toyota's Japan plants are not affected.

Doing the math, magkano ata aabutin yung charges for the recall for millions of vehicles?

Toyota has to shrink

Toyota has to shrink

Tumpak! Their increasing car sales was also product of the American bubble economy. All because of housing markets and excessive loans tied to house values in the middle of this decade...

Too big to FAIL!

[tidus1203]

It won't fail they just need to go smaller. Too many cars, not a lot of buyers. Kaya nga GM and Chrysler had to become smaller too...

Where are Chinese RAV4's made? Kasi kung Japan apektado na tayo nyan!

Pero di ba toyota and other big company would usually have a standard specifications when it comes to parts assembly and manufacturing. I think maliwanag naman na its a design flaw so regardless kung saan pa manufactured yung car, most likely the same problem would occur.

Sa tingin ko nag aantay lang ng incident report ang toyota. I don't think these casas would have the initiative to check and recall vehicles sa atin. Warranty nga lang ng car ang hirap ng mag claim.

I think for now what we can do on our part is to do a pre driving test car and check the accel pedal. Be alert and cautious (keep a safe distance and safe speed) while driving especially if a family member is riding with you. Since drive by wire ang tech na gamit ng toyota, its even more dangerous kasi electronic component na ang nag cocontrol ng acceleration and there is no way for us to tell kung defective. Also, pwede rin naman na bumabalik ang pedal pero yung electrical signal comming from the pedal is still telling the engine to rev.

Sobrang delikado... baka hindi lang car insurance ang magamit.

kapag may V8 engine brand new Toyota SUV sa likod ko, kailangan ko palang umiwas hehe.

anyway, kapag may nagreklamong Toyota owner dito na nangyari sa kanya yung sticky pedal, kasama na tayo diyan hehe. So far so good naman, wala naman and hopefully, walang incident na ganitong mangyari.

I do agree sadly.

Has there been any car recalled here in the Philippines lately due to defects?

tsk tsk....biglang ganoon ang avanza ko, two times na nagyari sakin, nasa 7k paako ngayon.
Paakyat ako from basement parking,
Noong nasa taas naako then shift to neutral, naiwan ang accelator for around 3 to 4seconds pagtanggal ko sa paa ko then slowly down.
I thought na floor mat lang eto, pacheck ko nga eto sa casa.

so may nangyari na palang ganito dito amfs! buti nalang sir manual tranny vanzy mo, mas nakakatakot sa A/T yan. sticky pedals tsk3.
