New gas pedal systems are on the way for Toyota customers who have been dealing with malfunctioning products on several of the company’s best-selling models. There’s been ongoing concern across North America and Europe, leading to the recall of 4.3 million Toyota models in the last year.
Toyota uses two different manufacturers in this case,the CTS and the Denso gas pedal systems in their vehicles.
Problems surfaced when the CTS gas pedal system started malfunctioning, leading to the pedal sticking or failing to release when it should. Several accidents and even fatalities have occurred. Lethbridge Toyota says they’ve got help on the way.
“Our techs have been going through training on how to install the new gas pedal systems starting yesterday, and they’ll be ready to install them when they arrive,” says Toyota general manager, Andrea Almer.
