Toyota has issued its largest recall ever and has stopped production on vehicles built in the United States, including the popular Toyota Camry and Toyota Highlander models.
This massive Toyota recall is due to a problem with the accelerator pedal sticking or the throttle sticking. The exact cause is still unknown.
The Toyota recall could give rise to lemon law claims and many vehicle owners may be entitled to a refund or a new vehicle. Of course, this outcome would be better for current Toyota owners than getting into a class action lawsuit or just letting Toyota fix the particular problem (after the underlying cause is found).
The lemon law in Ohio and Pennsylvania says the manufacturer must repurchase the vehicle or replace the vehicle (consumer’s choice) if it falls under the following presumption:
After one unsuccessful repair attempt on a safety-related issue, then it falls under the OH and PA Lemon Law.
In other words, if the owner has experienced the accelerator/throttle defect AND they have brought it to Toyota’s attention AND they have tried unsuccessfully to fix it just one time – Ohio and Pennsylvania Lemon Laws will apply.
