<!– Copyright 2000 Buzzle.com –> Toyota is trying desperately to stay in front of the gas pedal defect that it has in most of its new fleet. To date, there have been no confirmed injuries or deaths in the U.S. as a result of the problem, but with so many cars on the road, it may only be a matter of time. The gas pedals in many of the Toyota models have been observed to stick, causing unwanted acceleration that a driver would be unable to stop”Toyota is suspending sales of the following vehicles: the 2009-2010 RAV4, the 2009-2010 Corolla, the 2007-2010 Camry, the 2009-2010 Matrix, the 2005-2010 Avalon, the 2010 Highlander, the 2007-2010 Tundra and the 2008-2010 Sequoia.”That still leaves several models of Toyota active in the market place, including the Prius and all hybrid Camrys. But the impact on the world’s number one auto company has been unprecedented and it remains to be seen exactly what the financial and image fall-out will be from this episode. Some may call into question the impeccable quality reputation that Toyota has built over the years, but the fact that the company seems to be out in front of this problem actually says more than the problem itself. At least, that’s a reasonable perception among American consumers. The problem was brought to light in Japan, where the vehicles have been on the road longer.n response to GM’s Volt and Nissan’s all-electric cars, both of which are due out this year, Toyota has jumped into the mix and is promising a fully electric option by 2012. The “race” for zero emissions vehicles is apparently on – finally. Although all automobile manufacturers are still careful to point to the limitations in current battery technology that is required to power all electric vehicles.With GM, Nissan and now Toyota announcing all-electric vehicles, the paradigm shift may finally be upon us. The next step will be increasing the size of the all-electrics and then improving on the batter technology to improve vehicle performance, range and safety. All of this seems reasonably easy to achieve, given the technology that is available already and the resources required to advance that technology.Toyota remains committed to its hybrid vehicles, having already established itself as the undisputed leader with its Prius. The all-electric playing field has yet to be established and people are going to have to adjust to the idea that their car no longer runs on gas. As more people embrace the concept and the bugs are worked out of the vehicles, it would seem that many things will change as a result. But all of that remains to be seen as automobile manufacturers are struggling to create a model in which they can still see the types of profits and consumer control that they have enjoyed for most of the last century.<!– From http://www.buzzle.com/articles/toyota-to-launch-electric-car-in-2012.html –> <!– google_ad_section_end –>
