The fix is a very small shim they are installing in the pedal assy. to allow a better return. He said it has not been a big deal and that most people are handling it well. One thing that surprised me is that Toyota is going to change their software to be more like BMW in that when you depress the brake it retards engine rpm....It does not do that now, I did not know that bmw did this either. Its hard to stop a car under power. He is the dude I was talking about buying a corsa ducati just for the track....a $40,000 play bike. He is a bike nut and a great guy.

I'd like to be the first to welcome Toyota to the world of US manufacturing. Build for Form-Shim to Fit.
