New camry massive recall

this does not concern Camry owners only, pati yung ibang car owners siyempre. that is why dapat yung floor mats natin eh fit para sa sasakyan natin. dapat makapit din yung ilalim ng matting para hindi gumagalaw-galaw habang nagdra-drive.

I experience na naipit mattings ko sa harap ayun, hindi ako makapagclutch, buti nalang nasa 1st gear palang ako.

pinapalitan na ng rubber yung ilalim ng floor mats ko.

I read this one too in Yahoo news. A sad story with a funny twist . . . funny because I experienced it too when I used a cheap floor mat (kuripot kasi). It slid & jammed underneath the gas pedal while we were going uphill. Nabitin yung arangkada. We panicked kasi may mga nakasunod na mga sasakyan.

Now, I always use 2 sets of floor mats: one on the bottom (with spikes underneath for better grip on the floor) & one on top ( 3M with velcro w/c adheres well with the mat on the bottom).

Pambihirang toyota, ang mahal ng camry na yan, tapos el cheapo lang ang floor mat.

Better to use floor mats with big spikes underneath like the 3M Premium car mats. Yung 3M Classic konti lang spikes.

I personally had an experience with this. I bought my camry 3.5q very slightly used about a year ago. No problems initially until i had my friend drive it over to my place from the office. He called me up to say that the car suddenly accelerated and he almost had a collision. I was surprised to hear this and was really worried if somethings wrong with the car. Eventually he called up again ksi pinagaralan nya what went wrong. He took a close look at the accelarator pedal and concluded that it could be very possible that the floor mat jammed the pedal preventing it from going back to its rest position. Ako mismo had an experienced regarding the floor mats. But since i had prior knowledge, i always kept in mind that it could always happen again. And indeed it did! I was cruising comfortably one day when after i took my feet of the gas pedal the car kept running!! Instinctively, i immediately shifted the gear from D to N to disengage the gear and so be able to stop the car. Yes my friend was right, the mattings did jammed the pedal. The floor mattings of the camry is not really a cheap one. in fact i like it. But the problems is it slides towards the pedals thus causing it to sometimes block or jam the pedals. There are no other problems i think that causes the car to accelerate or not stop except for that mattings.

Oh it's because of free mattings that came up with Brand New Camry.
Get the floormat but immediately buy a better one like 3M for the driver's area to replace the free mat.

Happens also to my Starex, from then on, I always remind myself to properly align my carpet.

It would be better if you could cut the matting below the accelerator pedal, also to maximise the space under the pedal when flooring the pedal (e.g. expressway driving) and to prevent this situation.
