Toyota Floor Mat Accident

Media attention focusing on Toyota's floor mat recall has brought the Toyota class action lawsuit to the forefront of many consumers' minds.

Currently, there is a debate questioning the role floor mats play in many of the Toyota automobile accidents.  Toyota recalled cars in 2003 because of fears that sliding floor mats would jam the accelerator pedal—almost seven years before a similar large-scale floor mat recall, a CBC News analysis shows.

Critics in Canada and the United States say that the 2003 recall shows sliding floor mats in Toyota vehicles have been a problem for some time and that the company should have been more vigilant.

In 2009, drivers of Toyota models including the 2009 and 2010 Rav4 and Matrix were informed that "on certain vehicles, if the specifically designed all-weather floor mat for that vehicle is not secured by the retaining clip or placed on top of an existing mat, the mat could move forward and may interfere with the accelerator pedal."
