Consumer Description

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON OUR 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO CHAMPION TOYOTA AUSTIN TX ON THURSDAY SEPT 23 2010 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL. WHEN MY WIFE PICKED UP THE TRUCK LATER SHE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE LOWER HALF OF THE PEDAL HAD BEEN CUT OFF AND THAT SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE, HER FOOT CANNOT REACH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME AFTERNOON, AND SINCE THEN HAVE TRIED TO GET THIS RESOLVED BY PHONE AND EMAIL. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY BY TOYOTA THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE. THIS REPAIR IS UNSAFE. WE LIVE ABOUT 5 MILES FROM THE DEALER. MY WIFE WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON THE WAY HOME WHEN HER FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE PEDAL. OUR BIGGEST SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT SHE NOW HAS TO MOVE THE SEAT SO FAR FORWARD TO REACH THE ACCELERATOR THAT HER CHEST IS IN CONTACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL - AIRBAG. *TR
