[Hwooa sirry boy! I porality swish on yuuu!]Toyota Working on Prius Recall Fix
Toyota Motor Corp. said Tuesday that the Prius [latin for "before, formerly"] involved in a highly publicized [read: highly amplified] acceleration incident on a California freeway along with hundreds of thousands of others will be recalled to prevent floor mats from pinning down the gas pedal [a floor mat did it? really? lulz ensue].
But the recall hasn't been issued because Toyota "hasn't developed the remedy yet," [!] said Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons.
In November, Toyota recalled several models including the Toyota Camry and Avalon sedans and the Lexus ES sedan to reshape the floor and gas pedals to prevent unsecured or ill-fitting floor mats from entrapping the pedal in an open position [lol i dunno about you but i took the floor mats out of the 2004 corolla that i drive because i couldnt put the pedal all the way down to the floor. thats the real acceleration issue is not being able to accelerate fully with the mats getting in the way].
As part of those recalls, Toyota said Prius hybrids from the 2004 to 2009 model years would be recalled in the future [haha yessssss!!!! allow it it time to marinate for now] to address the same issue. The company advised owners of those Priuses to remove their floor mats in the meantime to prevent the gas pedal from becoming trapped, said Mr. Lyons [yezzur mr. lyons massa sir, will do massa sir].
Toyota sold about 745,000 Priuses from the 2004 to 2009 model years, according to Autodata Corp.
On Monday, James Sikes, 61 years old, called 911 [Somebody call 911! shawty fire burinin on the dance floor ooo woa oh!] for help [halp!] after his 2008 Prius raced to more than 90 miles per hour near San Diego and he couldn't slow it down.
"I pushed the gas pedal to pass a car [I wuz runnin lates fah mah slave job] and it did something kind of funny [lol!] ... it jumped and it just stuck there," Mr. Sikes [cool name] said at a news conference, according to the Associated Press. "I was trying the brakes ... it wasn't stopping, it wasn't doing anything and it just kept speeding up,'' Mr. Sikes said, adding he could smell the brakes burning.
A California Highway Patrol officer caught up to the Prius and advised the driver to apply both the brakes and emergency brake. Eventually, Mr. Sikes was able to shut the engine off [fool was in emotional sheep panic and didnt THINK to do that before hitting 90] and stop the vehicle. The patrolman pulled his car in front of the Prius as a precaution. Mr. Sikes was unhurt [OH is the lawd so eva merciful!1].
Toyota is sending engineers look to look at Mr. Sikes's car [ooooooooo...specialists!], the company said Tuesday. The Transportation Department [GOD] is also sending an investigator [ANGEL] to inspect the vehicle and gather information on the incident.
The incident took place a few hours after the auto maker concluded a detailed media presentation intended to rebut critics who suggest electrical problems could be causing its vehicles to speed up without drivers depressing the accelerator.
Reports of unintended acceleration have prompted Toyota to recall more than six million vehicles in the U.S. The recalls fix floor mats and gas pedals that can get stuck—the cause [sike!], according to the company, of the sudden-acceleration complaints.
For weeks, Toyota has tried to tamp [:)] down concern about the safety of its vehicles and rebut suggestions it did not react quickly enough to reports of sudden acceleration, including some that involved fatalities [lifekill go!]. But news of new, unrelated recalls and tense testimony by Toyota executives before Congress last month have kept the company on the defense.
"Toyota learned of a report that a California Highway Patrol (CHP) unit was dispatched in response to a 911 call from a motorist driving a Prius on Interstate 8 in San Diego County who said the accelerator pedal was stuck," the company said in a brief statement.
