Why don't they use the pedal they use in the Lexus and Scion? Why the fuck do they have a different pedal in the first place? I don't believe them.

First, the traditional fuel injection uses a throttle plate connected directly to the pedal. This pedal controls the throttle plate electronically.

Another untroubled Toyota pedal design comes from Denso. This pedal is manufactured (and therefore designed) by CTS in Indiana.

But again, Toyota demonstrated why the problem existed. Wantabe was removed long ago. Toyoda then said Toyota has many serious problems. You have again seen an example of why that failure probably existed so long ago and was ignored. Reports of this problem existed long before it became news worthy. To get the problem fixed, apparently Toyota has to replace the reason why that problem (and others) was being ignored. 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management.
