Toyota Anounces Monster Vehicle Recall.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota
Toyota Motor Corp, which is considered to be the world's #1 car maker, has announced a massive recall on at least 8 of its most popular late-model vehicles.
The reason being is because the company is saying that the gass pedal in the cars could become stuck in the pressed position, causing the affected vehicles to careen out of control and the person behind the wheel may not be able to stop the vehicles, resulting in what could be a very catastrophic accident!
A police officer & 3 of his family members were killed in an accident because in the vehicle he was driving, the gas pedal became stuck, causing the vehicle to careen out of control and accelerate to over 110mph!
Affected models and production (model) years are as follows;
1. 2009 - 2010 Rav 4.
2. 2009 - 2010 Corolla.
3. 2009 - 2010 Matrix.
4. 2005 - 2010 Avalon.
5. Certain 2007 - 2010 Camry.
6. 2010 Highlander.
7. 2007 - 2010 Tundra.
8. 2008 - 2010 Sequoia.
These affected year models have also been stopped on the production lines and Toyota has notified dealerships across the country to stop selling them until they can find a way to rectify the problem.
Stocks have already plummeted about 4%. Toyota says that it hopes to be able to offer a remedy for the problem soon.
If you have one or more of these affected models, you are asked to stop driving it immediately and notify Toyota or your dealership asap on what to do.
