DETROIT - Toyota dealers are just getting started on fixing the gas pedal problem. But what if your car's accelerator were to malfunction, would you know how to stop?
Todd McCallum, Operations Director for a string of dealerships in Detroit, has three suggestions.
Step one: hit the brakes
Step two: apply the brakes and shift to neutral
And finally, if both of those options don't work McCallum says your very last resort, and Toyota does not recommend this, is to turn your engine off. However you will lose significant control of the steering and brake system.
