Here is what the CEO of the parts company says about the issue and recall: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Toyota-pedal-maker-says-fix-apf-395647835.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=3&asset=&ccode= "Khilnani said the problem was due to pedals that are slow to depress or release when drivers try to accelerate or slow down. He said the only cases when the pedals could get stuck was when they were used in conditions that go "beyond Toyota specifications." Khilnani did not elaborate what those conditions are." Basically, "!!! it is not our fault !!!" philosophy is so strong on this particular MBA. A gas padel "slow to depress", shall I use the gas padel as I did on the brakes? Funny N.
