Toyota Motor Company will temporarily stop selling and building eight models for the U.S. market as it tries to resolve a problem with faulty gas pedals. Toyota said the stoppage includes:
-2009-2010 RAV4
-2009-2010 Corolla
-2007-2010 Camry
-2009-2010 Matrix
-2005-2010 Avalon
-2010 Highlander
-2007-2010 Tundra
-2008-2010 Sequoia
After recalling 3.8 million vehicles in September over concerns that accelerator pedals could get stuck in floor mats and this months recalled of another 2.3 million vehicles, a total of 1.7 million vehicles were in both recalls. This “stop sale” and the two recalls threaten Toyota’s reputation as an automaker focused on manufacturing safe and high-quality vehicles.
