Toyota has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2008 through 2010 Highlander, 2009 through 2010 Corolla, Venza, and Matrix passenger vehicles.  They stated that the accelerator pedal can get stuck in the wide open position due to its being trapped by an unsecured or incompatible drivers floor Mat.  This recall is an expansion of a campaign of 3.8 million other Toyota vehicles announced in 2009 for the same issue.

A stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds, and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury, or death.  Toyota will modify or replace the accelerator pedals on the subject vehicles.  Floor surface modifications are also being considered and will be included for any model for which it is deemed appropriate.  Initially, dealers will be instructed on how to reshape the accelerator pedal for the repair.  As replacement parts with the same shape as the modified pedal become available, they will be made available to the dealers for repair.

Customers who have had the pedal reshape remedy completed will have the opportunity to receive a new pedal if they desire,   after replacement pedals become available.  In addition, Toyota will replace any Toyota All-Weather floor mat in a subject vehicle with a newly designed floor mat, free of charge.  For those customers who have the previous design All-Weather floor mat but do not need or want the newly designed All-Weather floor mat, Toyota will recover the previous design All-Weather floor mat and reimburse its price.

General Motors has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2009 through 2010 Pontiac Vibe vehicles.  They stated that due to the manner in which the friction lever interacts with the sliding surface of the accelerator pedal inside the pedal sensor assembly, the sliding surface of the lever may become smooth during vehicle operation.  In this condition, if condensation occurs on the surface, as may occur from heater operation (without A/C) when the pedal assembly is operated may increase, which may result in the accelerator pedal becoming harder to depress, slower to return, or, in the worst case, mechanically stuck in a partially depressed position.

The accelerator pedal may become hard to depress, slow to return to idle, or, in the worst case, mechanically stuck in a partially depressed position, increasing the risk of a crash.  General Motors has not yet provided a remedy plan or an owner notification schedule.  Owners may contact GM at 1-800-620-7668 or at WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
