Massive auto recalls prompt safety tips
Toyota announced a massive recall this month, pulling back 2.3 million more vehicles to fix accelerator pedals that can stick, causing cars to speed out of control.
The announcement came after 4.2 million Toyotas were recalled late last year due to gas pedals that could become trapped under floor mats, causing sudden acceleration.
In response to these issues, Consumer Reports assembled a helpful list of how to stop a runaway car, if you find it accelerating beyond your control.
It never hurts to review these tips if, like me, you own a Toyota (although not one listed in the recall) and just want to err on the safer side of life.
In related news car recall news, if you didn’t see it on the business page of our Web site today, Jan. 29, Honda announced a huge recall of its own.
Honda is recalling 646,000 Fit/Jazz and City models because window switches can overheat when exposed to liquids, potentially causing smoke, melting or fire.
