Gas Pedal Recall Work Done

I'm in 100% agreement with your post mang

And the carpet mats came with the truck...they were listed on the window sticker.

 

I just talked to the dealership. They said that the gas pedal was shortened and heightened, but that the floor board was not altered in the Tacomas, but is being altered in other cars. I really do feel a difference in my floor board! It feels like there is a crevice on the left side under the brake pedal. I find it hard to believe that a change in the position and length of the gas pedal would create that much of an illusion, especially on the opposite side. I guess I can't know for sure without tearing out the carpet. No plans to do that unless it continues to bug me. lol

Oh well.

 

They may not be doing it on Tacomas by their instructions but are you sure the service guy is following Tacoma specific instructions?

I just ask because when I had my Accessories Skid Plate installed (part of the deal of purchasing the vehicle,) the service "technician" wrongly removed the factory front skid even though it clearly stated in the instructions to leave it on. I had to point it out to the manager before they went back and re-installed it.

 

I am not sure, no. I wasn't even asked before they did this, either. It feels like the padding has been removed from the floor under the brake pedal. I would have to take it back in and have them check, which is another day without my truck, and then I wonder if they would tell me the truth.

Is there an easier way to tell if it has been removed without ripping up the carpet? Is the floor pretty much straight/level with the padding? Mine is not. There is clearly a valley in mine and I don't think it was like that before I took it in yesterday.

 

I don't want them touching my gas pedal. There is nothing wrong with it.

 

Mine was done w/ the TSB. TSB looks great; it rides like a truck now. Gas pedal is fine. Looks smaller and it only looks cut if you get down real close and eyeball it and since I don't have my head near the gas pedal too often, it'll work just fine for me.

 

Got it done this weekend when I had my truck detailed. No issues

 

no way will I have this recall done. I do not want a short gas pedal that looks like ass.

and I don't want them to reflash my ECU because I want to be able to hold the brake and gas at the same time to do burnouts

 

I was at the dealership this week for n A/C estimate and they asked if this recall was done. I told them no there is nothing wrong with it and I have plenty of clearance between my stacked floor mats (factory mats and rubber mats) and besides that I'm not letting any one hack up parts of my truck for some thing that is not an issue. The Assistant service manager just kinda grinned and said well we have to ask. Now after getting the estimate to have a 0.66 cent a/c washer replace on the high side of the condensor replaced I know why there called the stealership on this forum. The estimate came in at $380.00.

 

x2 I am gonna stay clear of dealership as long as i can. Then when I go Iwill remove floor mats and claim I dont have any
But no change, if ain't broken dont fix it.

 

easy solution: get WeatherTech Digital Fit mats and rest easy. I have them and there is NO WAY IN HELL that the pedal will catch them.

This way, you stay out of the dealership, get a great pair of floormats, and have peace of mind.

 

That was great! I'm taking mine in soon to get the leaf springs done. If they do anymore, expect to see a homicide case investigation on CNN.

 

I can promise you that they will do the brake override which is why I chose not to do the pedal reshaping. Like I said, it's not an issue for me. It ain't broke, they got nothing to fix.

 

just had it done to mine. figured itll look better if i go to sell it so why not.

they also charged me 300 bucks to plug in a connector to turn off the airbag light. i guess when my truck had body work done they didnt reassemble the door panel right and forgot to plug in that connector.

that.. and my truck idles really low and shakes when im stopped at idle. anyone else have this problem? it is just with the 2.7's?

im guessing its just learning the driving styles again.

 

The only way I will have the work done is if I ever sell my Tacoma. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

 

I had my done yesterday, it was cut to short in my opinion and i raised hell, told them it looked shitty and that i was puttin up with it, so they ordered me a brand new one for free. P.O.S. Recall!

 

I trimmed the back of my right flip flop. No issues, although there were no issues before. It was a bunch of BS and Toyota had a bunch of floormats in a warehouse somewhere. Great job by them to counter the stupid media and the people that believe everything they say. I know someone who actually sold their Camry because they "didn't feel safe". Turn off the TV, you will feel a lot safer.

 

I bet I could guess who that someone voted for in the last presidential election. LOL

 

Just got the notice today. Time to feed the shredder.
