Anyone with a manual transmision or anyone whos ever owned a manual transmission would be MORE than familliar with this. Too bad we're not like the europeans... they've seen the ways of manual shifts for years and we're stuck on automatics... different culture... then again gas is $2.50/L there too instead of $1

The high level of interest is because my accelerator has hung up on the floor mat 5 or 6 times. I've learned not to gun it. That's how I have solved the problem. So today I called my local dealer who does all my work. My car is a 2005 Prius. They looked up my car and told me it was made in Japan and is not involved in the recall, but that I can bring it in at my own expense. Despite the fact that the accelerator will stick. I would think this would be disturbing news to Toyota. Not disturbing enough I guess. My problem is that I can never get the floor may lock device thingy that is furthest from the gas pedal and closest to me to actually lock. It just can't be forced down into the hole it's supposed to go into. But they will be nice enough to fix it at my expense. Great. |
