A source from Cars.com, says an investigation will determine how long the company has been aware of the problem. Individuals, familiar with the recall suggest the glitch maybe traceable to 2005. 


Drivers, who experience the acceleration glitch, are advised to place both feet on the pedal, and shift the transmission gear into the neutral position. If the gear will not shift into neutral the engine should be powered off.

Although, Toyota has announced the "recall,"  the company is in the process of resolving the situation. Vehicle owners, who have not experienced the aforementioned hazard need not take any action. However, Toyota owners, who have noticed the sticky  accelerator situation, should consult their local Toyota dealer.
