The entire thing has been grossly blown out of proportion.

At this time there are two recalls.

One is for modifying the gas pedals to reduce its length and not allow floor mats to get hung. This could be avoided if customers used the clips that came with the floor mats to affix them to the carpet.

The second recall is for the accelerator pedal assembly. The dealers are basically adding a shim behind the spring. The pedal would have had to have been depressed 100% and then if it were to act up, it would have hung wide open sitll with your foot off the pedal. So anyone who has had a issue was obviously flooring it prior to the incident.

The amount of vehicles affected by these conditions are very small, most people IMO are crying wolf.

Toyota will definitely take a hit for this, sales are already seeing it as well as their stocks
