    x2. imo it isn't the "unintended acceleration" was indeed "unintended" by the driver not the truck.

    This is a serious violation of your trucks civil rights. I would consider hiring an attorney to file assault charges against the dealership on behalf of your truck.

    Is it just me or is the cut pedal and weathertech floor mats a bad idea? Anyone notice that their cut pedal can get stuck under the raised lip of the mat? I refuse to let them hack up my pedal only to introduce a problem that was never there in the first place.

    You guys haven't experienced fun until the throttle sticks on an 80s rv with a 440 dodge v8 in it an you have the engine cover off on the inside. Not only are you moving quickly towards hard objects but you have a pissed off big block roaring 2 inches from your leg.

    My truck came with the Toyota "All Weather Mats", so I had a recall for both the pedal and mats. Since my Driver Mat was cracked and allowed water, mud, etc to seep thru to the carpet, I went in to do the recall solely to get new free mats. I got the mats, but they were not "all weather" as the originals were. Plus, they cut the pedal which really was not needed, and I did not like this at all. So, they offered to install a newly designed pedal which was not cut, so I had it installed as well. If I had to do it all over, I would not do it. I would buy new mats, and keep the original pedal placement. You can go to the dealer and sign a waiver or whatever and not do the recall. There was no need to cut my pedal, and it felt awkward to push on the gas afterwards. :mad:

    I noticed! It felt like I was pushing on the bottom edge of the pedal, vs on the center of the pedal as normal to give it gas. :(

    They update the transmission shifting points when they install the brake override software

    It is really funny to me that this is even an issue. I couldn't even tell a difference. I guess if I spent a ton of time staring at my gas pedal, I could probably see that a minuscule amount of plastic was removed, but I guess I have other things to worry about.

    Tranny flash is only for the 09-10 models because they changed the ecu software. Some people experienced shifting lag. 05-08 never had the problem.

    Never did mine. They called and told them I don't want it. Problem solved.
