A gas accelerator that sticks when you press the brake is no small cause for alarm. Many people throughout the country have reported injuries as a result of unexplained acceleration in Toyota vehicles.
As a result, Toyota has issued a recall involving more than 9 million vehicles.
And Chrysler has recalled nearly 700,000 jeeps and minivans due to a braking problem.
Toyota and Chrysler are certainly not the first to issue a mass recall on vehicle parts. In 2000, Goodyear tire defects and the Firestone tire recall both made the news. Both companies replaced millions of tires after dozens of car accident injuries were attributed to faulty tires.
Auto recalls are serious, simply because of the significant injury that can result from any car accident or truck accident. Toss in faulty brakes or a stuck acceleration and a minor fender bender can easily turn into a terrible car crash resulting in serious personal injury or even death.
It's alarming to think of the dangers associated with faulty vehicles and daunting to consider going up against these motor vehicle giants on your own.
