Pennsylvania Toyota drivers may want to remove their floor mats on the driver's side. Toyota has announced a recall of almost 4 million vehicles and is urging all Toyota and Lexus drivers to remove their floor mats and not replace them until the automaker can come up with a permanent solution to a dangerous problem.
Toyota has received numerous reports of the floor mat causing the accelerators to jam causing drivers to lose control of their vehicle which can ultimately end in a high speed collision. The first known reports came to Toyota in 2004 and concerned the Prius but since then there have been over 100 reports with dozens of crashes, nearly twenty injuries and five deaths.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has warned drivers to remove floor mats from the following vehicles:
• 2007-2010 Toyota Camry
• 2005-2010 Toyota Avalon
• 2004-2009 Toyota Prius
• 2005-2010 Toyota Tacoma
• 2007-2010 Toyota Tundra
• 2007-2010 Lexus ES 350
• 2006-2010 Lexus IS 250 and IS 350
