The accelerator was stuck in our 2006 toyota tacoma on several occasions. Almost causing an accident each time. We do not feel safe driving it. We have removed the mats. Toyota isn't offering replacement mats to fix the problems for their mistake. Toyota also hasn't included my truck in this supposed voluntary recall. *tr
