Thanksgiviing floor mat Tip

Today is Thanksgiving, it a day we recreate last years events. We cook, eat and enjoy the day off. If You have a personal car you don't worry about carrying food from one place to another. If on the other hand you are a family person there is much food to transport from one place to another. This is were the floor mats come in. You know those extra pieces of carpet beneath your feet on the driver and passenger side of the vehicle. Occasionally floor mats are installed in the rear passenger section of you vehicle. Now if you are going to transport food in the car turn the mats over. Why you may ask? This will allow any spills to remain on the protective backing instead of saturating the carpet on the reverse side. I always do this when my car is in for repairs. In case the technician has some substance on his or her feet. If it's a female technician it hardly happen they seem to be more careful of these small issues. That is my tip for today.

Floor Mat Rebuke

 Toyota was rebuked by the N.H.T.S.A for making misleading statements earlier this week. Now the auto manufacture indicates that removing the floor mats in an interim cure for the floor pan, accelerator, and floor mat problem. They are investigating the measures needed to correct the problem.  I am certainly not an expert on automobile design but I knew from day one there was more to that floor mat business. I have worked in an auto salvage business for over 7 years  dismantling both foreign and domestic models. It was not until recently that I heard of a floor mat  causing a vehicle to reach excessive speed. Now if the accelerator is entangled with the floor mat, then, the question become why are they entangle. The N.H.T.S.A had  earlier concluded that there was more to it. Now the auto giant concedes.

Floor Mat Side Step

It is incomprehensible that a huge auto maker would attempt to side step their earlier statement concerning floor mat incidents. It was clear in September that the fault of the drivers unexpected speed was due to the improperly installed floor mats. That seem to be the finding of the NHTSA. The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration indicates the statements now being made by the auto giant or misleading. Toyota, this past Monday "denies any fault" on the part of Toyota. Ok! you manufactor the cars, You sold the cars then whose fault is it?
