I've seen a couple different opinions of what causes this issue..... one says the floor mats get tangled up with the pedal, and another says the drive by wire throttle position sensors are faulty........


sounds like a boogie man scenario......

Or a spring on the pedal sometimes does not push the pedal back up. Or ... I have read everything I could find. Nobody (with responsible knowledge) is even suggesting what is the problem OR what the Toyota pedal solution solves.

We now get to learn how Toyota manufacturing works. Years ago, at the only source of brake cylinders - that plant burned down completely. Using concepts taught by Deming, Toyota literally had a sewing machine manufacturer completely trained in Toyota production techniques and manufacturing brake cylinders in three days. Toyota supplies do not win contracts only on price.

This pedal is made only in northern Indiana. Only the more informed news services will discuss how Toyota got production changes implemented AND expanded to meet demands. Obviously that is proprietary information - except where better new services are asking that sidebar question.
