Of course......I don't know why anyone didn't think of it sooner. All of the engineers at Toyota and Lexus could have saved A LOT of time if they would have just asked me. If they would have consulted me on how to fix their "floor mat that can get the accelerator stuck" safety problem....I would have first suggested using a hot glue gun. I think hot glue is awesome. They I would have suggested a bungee cord.....and probably in the same breath, using a zip-tie. I would have probably charged a lot less than what Toyota has spent on trying to solve this issue.
BECAUSE...apparently, Toyota is just using a plastic zip-tie to secure the floor mat to the seat rails. This is the fix for the 3.8 millions cars that are being recalled. At least there is a fix and it won't cost Toyota too much since that is a lot of cars. I think I've seen a pack of 12 zip-ties at Wal-Mart for under $2. Good news for Toyota since I bet they can get a price cheaper than Wal-Mart....well, at least I hope they can.
However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin is now investing 2000-2001 Toyota Tundras for rush damage on the frame. That might be a little more of a costly fix IF it's recalled. We shall see.....
