We received complaints about the vehicles' involuntary acceleration problems. To find out whether it was because of the floor mats or something else, an investigation has to be done. We did not receive any complaints before Toyota's recall notice about the pedal that was sticking because of condensation.
When Toyota issued the notice of defect, the company had to provide the reasons for issuing that notice. Toyota told us that it has received five sticky pedal complaints in Canada and five in the United States since October 2009.
