Really, UMW sucks.

Before any defects could cause any lost of life, I guess the bad driving skills already claimed the lives - not manufacturer fault!

Anyway since the fault is at the accelerator where they said they added some friction pad thingy just to have the 'feel' of it, I wonder would this issue extend to any car at all that has DbW?

The 1st statement regarding the carpet can be ignored.


The problem on the 2nd statement I read is that they designed the pedal to have some 'friction' or 'load' in order to make it feel like the 'real physical connection'. And the mechanism that provides the 'friction' causes it stuck after wear & tear.

Since DbW wouldn't need physical connection to the throttle indirectly resulting the acceleration pedal unnaturally as light as feather (or 'feel-less'). Well, my assumption is that they would use this mechanism only on DbW models (to make it feel right).

Just got 4K, 22R & 1NZ.


Really wish to have 4A, 2ZZ or ZR-family.
