Undertanding this video could save your life :
I understand it is all edgy and killer to make jokes about Toyota Acceleraor Pedals. The perception is that Toyota's are dangerous because your favorite blogger vlogger or MTV Host told you that. The reality is any vehicles pedal could get stuck or malfunction. The gist of this video is that it can happen in any car at any time. If it happens to you, simply place the shifter into neuteral. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u53oRzkRIbY&feature=fvw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u53oRzkRIbY&feature=fvw I realize Edmunds is not as cool as sisley or american apparrel or holister and my intention is not to take time away from biting your nails, slicing you own forearm with razor blades, or re-arranging animae action figures. If your acclerator pedal sticks you have two options: 1. call 911, panic like a wuss, your estate will get a multi million dollar settlement, and your loved ones have more $ to go shopping with or 2. shift the car into neuteral, pull over to the side, shift into park, turn the car off and live Feb 13 10 07:32 am Link Nice vid. I've had a stuck gas pedal on a mazda when I made a custom mat for it, so toyota is not the only brand. Feb 13 10 03:05 pm Link The same thing happened to me in my Chevy. I had two mats and they bunch up. Feb 13 10 03:07 pm Link What happens if your shifter is stuck in gear? Feb 13 10 09:10 pm Link They don't. Just slap it and it goes up, into neutral. Then take your foot off tha gas, and put it on the brake. Duh! Feb 13 10 10:59 pm Link John Edward wrote: They do! The case of California Highway Patrol officer Mark Saylor is one example: John Edward wrote: It doesn't always work. Feb 13 10 11:14 pm Link My old Corolla also has mats that creep up, so this is useful to be aware of, Feb 14 10 07:33 am Link |
