I will be the firs to admit that the Toyota product line quality has diminished since the 2000-2002 model years but this pedal issue is out of control. Plus, the only affected cars have CTS pedals in them....and only 2 confirmed cases of sticking pedal due to wear, not a improper use of a floor mat.. All Japanese built models have Denso pedals and are not affected. If anyone would like more info I will be more than happy to share.
Only thing I have to disagree about is the recalls - this is the first of one of this scale.
Toyota has a large amount of recalls.
Air bags, transfer cases, cruise controll, brakes, drivetrain, ball joints, master cylinders.
And I only checked 1 model year and 4 models.
Does not sound better than any other manufacturer.
