do your customers a favor and warn them about the recall on these model of cars:

2007 – 2010 Camry

2005 – 2010 Avalon

2004 – 2009 Prius

2005 – 2010 Tacoma

2007 – 2010 Tundra

2007-2010 ES 350

2006-2010 IS 250 and IS350

tell the customer to remove their driver side floormat until they have their vehicle inspected by their dealer.

ive known about this for a while but it is now an official recall.

in san diego a chp officer, his wife, her brother and his daughter were killed in a car accident because the gas pedal was stuck down because it lodged itself into the ribs of an all weather floor mat. the vehicle was a lexus GS350. the even worse part was it was a loaner vehicle from a lexus dealer. the officer could not slow down and ran off the freeway at over 120mph and the vehicle caught fire.

man this has been all over the news. I can't believe they're having a recall over it.

If your gas pedal is stuck to the floor, I don't think the first thing you would do is call 911 and stay on the phone for several minutes. Wouldn't you attempt to see why it is stuck? or put the car in neutral, or turn off the car, or step on the brakes? Most cars are designed so that the brakes can overpower the engine in the event of an emergency.

The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.

Really its for any make or model that either the floormats are doubled up or they don't have a retainer. I saw the aftermath of the lexus that started this recall. The worst part was one of the passengers called 911 before they wrecked and blew up. This is not the manufactures fault but obviously needs addressed.

:dunno plus, as far as I've ever seen toyota has those little hooks for all the driver side mats :dunno

yes its bad what happened, but I don't see how "removing the floormats and not putting them back" is something that toyota needs to do since it wasn't their fault

I do feel sad for the family. I don't understand why they didn't put the car in neutral.

:dunno or turn it off, or put on the ebrake or regular brakes

they have enough time for a 2 minute 911 call though

Neutral and shut the car off... leave the key turned so the wheel doesn't lock. Not that complicated.

Would not use the ebrake though. Not the brightest idea.

So are they discontinuing that type of floormat? Is that the recall? And destroying the ones they get back in?

      70% Expel Plus on windshield ripple fix

      Any way to fix a very annoying/dangerous rippling effect on the front windshield without redoing the entire thing? Charms seem to “jump” every so slightly making the driver a little dizzy during driving.

      help arquitectural in Puerto Rico heat

      Hi, new to the forum but a previous lurker. Was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on tints for a business in Puerto Rico who's windows face north (humidity 80% temp 70-100). Main concern is heat reduction though i would like for it to not be super dark since it is a work area. Have not contacted installers yet since I wanted to have some knowledge about products and specs beforehand to make sure im getting what i need. Thank you! From what i've gathered i should look out for: dual reflective film and low absorptive/high solar reflection products used this topic among others for research: "should be a go-to such as: 3M's Night Vision15 or NV25, Vista Film's Dual Reflective18 or DR 28, LLumar's DR15 or DR25 (which closely matches 3M NV), or Madico's Optivision in and around the same number assignment. The numbers assigned to films represent the visible light transmission of the product." "The higher the reflectivity of a film product, the better when dealing with desert heat."

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I had it removed and gave up on the window. I guess I'm too picky to have the window done...

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      It looks like the end of the roll was used which has adhesive marks from being attached to the plastic core. You can't use the very end of the film roll.

      South facing windows DR film

      Install went great. I went with NV-25, I am very happy. The room has been darkened significantly, from bright and hot to much more pleasant and enjoyable. Watching TV during the day is no longer blinding, when it is cloudy it is definitely a bit gloomy, I am glad I did not go with NV-15. I plan on getting more windows done in the future to help cut down on heat energy. Thanks for everyone's input!
