Toyota/Lexus Recall!
Saturday, September 29, 2007 10:04 AM
lol
Toyota says it's recalling optional "all-weather" floor mats available in the Lexus ES350 and Toyota Camry. About 55,000 vehicles are affected.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a consumer advisory warning that the heavy-duty rubber floor mats, if unsecured, could move forward and press the gas pedal, which could cause the car to accelerate uncontrollably.

Seriously...all it takes is a lint roller...I think all the owners would rather cop out $5 for a roller than giving up their cars for god knows how long while the seats are replaced or reupholstered or who knows what they do...especially if they gave a damn about their manufacturer and chose to do that instead of costing this company millions when it needs it most....

Is for real or are you joking?
I know GM get put through the ringer for their quality and tons of recalls, but they shouldn't have to deal with petty stuff like this.

The floormats in my mom's old Jeep Cherokee used to bunch up under the break pedal. That sucked when you push on the brakes and it doesn't slow down.

It's not a recall, or campaign it is a Technical Service Bulletin. Meaning if someone asks is concerned, or complains about it, that the TSB explains it. Recalls are almost always safety, emissions, and leave the vehicle down situation like the second row seat belt loop on the the GMT800 models, and the battery run down reprogram. Even then the battery reprogram is an inventory upgrade not a recall.

^Correct.
There is a big difference between TSBs and Recalls.

I know of a way to fix both of these dumbass "recalls"




vinyl seats and rubber floors. spray that m-f'er down with a hose to clean it up. no lint roller or floormats necessary

yeah that is how Covance Research(the monkey farm), treats thiers. Of course they don't don't dry them off, and now there seat frames, and all the grounds under the door sills are corroded to @!#$. But this is coming from people who break leaf springs in half.

VW had a recall not to long ago to lube the front seat tracks... an actual recall not a TSB

yeah, when you get those floormats, they come with new hooks to hold them in position... maybe people aren't installing them?

the sad thing is, they still don't. not with any kind of urgency, anyway.
