We’ve all seen the news about the faulty floor mats and sticking gas pedals on several Toyota models. Those of us who own one of these models can’t help but wonder how this happens.
In conversations with some of my car buddies, their opinions differ greatly on how Toyota should handle this situation. I personally feel stopping production on the vehicles—and refusing to sell another until the issue has been resolved—shows responsibility on the automaker’s part. They have no choice but to do this, in my opinion.
But have I stopped driving my Tacoma? No. Do I have any worries about the gas pedal sticking? Not really. Do I think Toyota should remedy the issue however? You bet!
When you buy a vehicle, you trust the automaker has pursued every possible safety concern. And it’s in their best interest to fix any potential safety problems to keep their customers happy.
