Feb.4,2010– I had the opportunity to watch as Mike, (my certified Toyota technician) showed me how quickly, easily and thoroughly he addresses the fix for the recall on accelerator (gas) pedals on the various Toyota models. Noting he has not had one car come in exhibiting the problem, customers are flocking to get the pedal altered, and a FREE car wash(which takes longer than the fix!)
In this video Mike describes the pedal or “foot” feel you would experience if you had a suspect accelerator. To date only 16 complaints have been fielded by NHTSA for this recall. No deaths have been reported.

NEW CAR manufacturers are anxious to have recent college graduates (first time car buyers) seen driving their brands. To motivate the consumer they offer rebates and financing opportunities on specific models. The recent college graduate must show proof of a job making a min. of $1800.00 per month and their rent cannot exceed 30% of that gross income. The graduate can expect to be limited to the most basic, least expensive models int he product line unless he/she has a substantial down payment or co-signer for any vehicle over 15K*. A down payment to cover taxes and fees is usually required, and the credit must be spot-less. Any negative accounts can make the deal null and void.
