In 2010 Toyota NJ dealerships are certain the problems Toyota faced in 2009 will be resolved completely and drivers will continue to place their faith in this automaker.

The 2010 Toyota Prius has received some complaints, specifically 124 in the United States and 77 in Japan, of inconsistent anti-lock brakes. Customers report issues with the brake system in this vehicle, including brake failure, when driving on slick of bumpy surfaces. Toyota has identified the problem with the new brake system in the 2010 Prius and resolved the problem in automobiles built since January. Customers should be reassured that Toyota is considering a recall to resolve the problem and the only car affected by this particular issue is the 2010 Toyota Prius, no earlier Prius models used this specific brake system.

Toyota has started to send letters to car owners who have these models regarding the recall. Owners are asked to wait to make an appointment with their dealership until they receive a notification letter. However, contact your Toyota Service Center if you have any doubts and refrain from driving your vehicle.

Toyota has developed a procedure for fixing vehicles with the possibility of a sticking gas pedal. The company will install a stainless steel reinforcement bar to keep the pedal from sticking and make sure the pedal returns to its proper position. Some vehicles including Camry and Avalons will have a brake override system installed as well.

The automaker has also taken steps to fix the floor mat recall occurring in certain Lexus, Camry, Corolla, Prius, Tacoma, Highlander, Venza, Matrix and Avalon vehicles. Toyota is asking that car owners remove their floor mats and not to replace them. In some vehicles Toyota plans to reconfigure the accelerator pedal and in others reshape the floor beneath the pedals.

Toyota is taking swift and efficient steps to resolve the issues their automobiles have been facing. If you have any concerns contact your local Toyota dealership immediately. Also visit the Toyota company website for more information regarding any of the recall procedures.
