inca o serie de recall-uri, printre care si pentru toyota aygo:

Listo para la última lista de "enfermitos"? Aunque la gripe A no afecta a los coches, estos todavía no son inmunes a los gremlins que habitan en las fábricas de todos los fabricantes del mundo. Esta semana, han hecho de las suyas en los Toyota Aygo, Suzuki Grand Vitara, y Alfa Romeo MiTo.

A continuación tienes las notificaciones semanales emitidas por las redes de alerta del Instituto Nacional del Consumo y la Unión Europea.



Toyota Aygo: Según la descripción oficial, "en las unidades afectadas existe la posibilidad de que haya un defecto de maquinado en los cubos de rueda del eje delantero, en el peor de los casos podrían aflojarse los tornillos de los cubos de rueda". El propio fabricante se encargará de revisar los cubos y sustituirlos si es que procede. Los modelos afectados fueron fabricados entre el 19 y el 23 de mayo de 2009.

aygorevi580.jpg

Suzuki Grand Vitara: El todoterreno compacto japonés (código JB 419 D) es otro de esos con graves problemas de calentura. "Debido a una protección inadecuada del cableado eléctrico del motor, el cableado puede contactar con el tornillo de la tapa de distribución del motor y dañarse el aislante de los cables. Si se conduce en estas condiciones repetidamente el cableado puede cortocircuitase causando fallos del motor. En el peor de los casos, esto podría causar un incendio". Como es habitual, Suzuki se hará cargo de las reparaciones pertinentes.

Alfa Romeo MiTo: El problema del pequeño italiano es decididamente el menos habitual. Resulta que el fabricante ensambló varias unidades indicando en el propio vehículo que puede remolcar cargas de hasta 1.000 kg de peso, cuando lo cierto es que la masa máxima del hipotético remolque es exactamente la mitad (500 kg). Este fallo también fue reproducido en los manuales del coche, que deberán ser corregidos. El boletín de la UE no indica las medidas adoptadas, a excepción de que Alfa Romeo ya se encuentra trabajando en el asunto.

recall hyundai sonata in ue

El Hyundai Sonata ha sido (y es) uno de los protagonistas de la semana. Entre teasers y filtraciones, el sedán surcoreano nos tiene que no damos abasto, pero hoy la noticia es distinta. En primer lugar, porque nos habla del modelo presente, no de la nueva generación, y en segundo, porque tiene que ver con una de esas averías que si te tocan te puede volver loco.

La red de alertas de la Unión Europea, por indicación del Instituto Nacional del Consumo, ha emitido un comunicado informando de un aparente "multiproblema electrónico" que afecta a distintos puntos del coche. La descripción es además tan elocuente que ni hace falta resumirla:

    Puede encenderse el testigo de aviso del ESP. Las luces de freno pueden no encenderse o quedarse encendidas permanentemente. La palanca de cambio automático no se puede mover de la posición P a otras posiciones o viceversa. No se puede cancelar o no se activa el control de crucero



Como es habitual la casa se encargará de avisar a los propietarios de los vehículos afectados para que se acerquen por la consulta del doctor.

recall mitsubishi lancer evolution, raliart si sportback ralliart

The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a recall of potentially 6,903 Lancer Evolution, Ralliart, and Sportback Ralliart vehicles fitted with 2.0-liter turbocharged engines falling between model year 2008 and 2009. According to the report, running the engine at certain speeds over time may cause a damaging vibration that could lead to a stress crack in the fuel pipe (the fuel return pipe is apparently improperly attached to the engine). If a crack does develop, the resulting fuel leakage could cause a fire.

Dealers will be instructed to replace the fuel pipe with a new component and add two new additional attachment brackets to lessen the effects of vibration. Of course, all of this work will be performed free of charge. Owners of the recalled Mitsubishi vehicles may contact the manufacturer at 1-888-648-7820, contact the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov regarding campaign ID 09V349000.

recall in europa pentru k Kia Carens, Carnival, Sportage y Sorento si mercedes benz viano si vito:

Vamos ahora con la última remesa de campañas de revisión comunicadas por la red de alertas de la Unión Europea. Kia y Mercedes son las marcas "agraciadas" de esta semana. La primera se ha encontrado con problemas electrónicos en varios de sus modelos, mientras que la segunda deberá reparar un defecto de tipo material en las Vito y Viano.

Comenzamos.

Kia Carens, Carnival, Sportage y Sorento: La luz de freno de estos modelos puede no iluminarse al pisar el pedal, o, en otros casos, encenderse después de levantar el pie. También existe la posibilidad de que el control de estabilidad deje de funcionar sin motivo. Por último, se ha detectado el riesgo de que el control de crucero no se desactive al pisar el pedal de freno. Son problemas importantes, y por ello, Kia ha llamado a revisión a los vehículos fabricados entre 20 de septiembre de 2006 y el 25 de octubre del mismo año.

Mercedes-Benz Vito y Viano: La pareja de Mercedes mantiene su "buena estrella" con un nuevo defecto, que en este caso afecta a las ventanas traseras. Según el boletín, los vidrios podrían desprenderse totalmente del vehículo, poniendo en peligro a los conductores que circulen detrás. Las unidades a revisar fueron fabricadas entre octubre y diciembre de 2005, y marzo y abril de 2006, con números de identificación entre 113873 y 243876.

recall chevrolet matiz

El actual Chevrolet Matiz tiene ya un pie fuera de la puerta, pero antes de dejar paso al nuevo Spark, aún le ha dado tiempo de jugar una mala pasada a sus propietarios, y es que el popular polivalente tendrá que pasar por el taller según informa la red de alertas de la UE.

El motivo de su visita al mecánico se encuentra en que uno de los muelles del acople del cinturón de seguridad podría soltarse, liberando el arnés con las imaginables consecuencias para el ocupante en caso de impacto. Las unidades afectadas son todas modelos 2009-2010 con números de identificación comprendidos entre KL1MJ6A04AC113537 y KL1MJ61079C699761. Como de costumbre, el fabricante se hará cargo de las reparaciones

recall masiv in state pentru toyota, 3,8 milioane implicate din urmatoarele modele

    *  2007-2010 Camry
    * 2005-2010 Avalon
    * 2004-2009 Prius
    * 2005-2010 Tacoma
    * 2007-2010 Tundra
    * 2007-2010 ES 350
    * 2006-2010 IS 250 and IS350

The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration has just issued a safety alert to owners of particular Toyota and Lexus models from 2004-2010 (see list below) that will soon involve a full recall of some 3.8 million vehicles. The issue involves a nagging problem Toyota has had with floor mats in certain models that, in some cases, have caused the accelerator pedal to get stuck in a wide open throttle position (see example above). There are apparently clearance issues with these floor mats and the pedals, as well as issues with the unique steps required to shut off vehicles with keyless ignitions, and Toyota and NHTSA is warning owners to remove the mats immediately and not replace them with mats from Toyota or any other brand.

The models affected are:

    * 2007-2010 Camry
    * 2005-2010 Avalon
    * 2004-2009 Prius
    * 2005-2010 Tacoma
    * 2007-2010 Tundra
    * 2007-2010 ES 350
    * 2006-2010 IS 250 and IS350

Toyota issued a recall in September 2007 for a similar problem with all-weather floor mats in the 2007-08 Lexus ES350 and Toyota Camry. NHTSA, however, has continued to receive complaints of unintended acceleration in these models and more.

Toyota will follow up NHTSA safety alert with its largest ever recall in the U.S. as soon as it has a solution figured out. In the mean time, if you own one of the above vehicles, your government would like you to play it safe and remove the driver-side floor mat. Now we have to wonder, who's going to pay the rather large bill for cleaning the carpet in thousands of vehicles that got their foot wells dirty from having no floor mats?

Follow the jump for press releases from both NHTSA and Toyota, the latter of which includes instructions on what to do if you experience unintended acceleration caused by the floor mats in these models. Thanks to everyone for the tips!

Toyota cheamă 3,8 milioane de automobile, pentru probleme la... preşuri
30 Septembrie 2009, ora 10:09 | | |
Reputaţia pe care Toyota o are în privinţa siguranţei a primit o lovitură cu această ocazie. O serie de accidente care s-au soldat cu cinci victime au determinat cel mai mare constructor auto să cheme pentru inspecţie o cifră uriaşă de autoturisme. Motivul? Preşurile, care pot bloca pedala de acceleraţie.

Pe listă se află modelele Camry 2007-2010, Avalon 2005-2010, Prius 2004-2009, Tacoma 2005-2010, Tundra 2007-2010, Lexus ES350 2007-2010, Lexus IS250 şi IS350 2006-2010, comercializate pe piaţa din SUA. Pe lângă costuri, estimate la 50-100 de milioane de dolari, Toyota se teme că ar putea pierde mult şi la imagine.

În 2005 constructorul nipon a chemat pentru verificări 900.000 de automobile pentru o problemă la sistemul de direcţie.

inregistrarea discutiei dintre cei ce au facut accidentul in lexus si politie, ce a dus la moartea celor 4 persoane din cauza pedalei de acceleratie blocate.

Wow .... Dumnezeu sa-i ierte ....

Mie mi s-a blocat accelaratia sub pres de vreo 5 ori ....

Da' tu n-ai automata ... si nici pornire cu card sau alte chestii ... da' nu puteau sa scoata masina din viteza ? ( s-o puna pe "N" )

Sau să-şi tragă preşul de sub picioare…Măcar băga piciorul sub pedală şi trăgea…
Totuşi e un Lexus…La Toyota ce aşteptări să mai ai?

da' frana nu functioneaza in astfel de situatii ?

In tara unde si pe cartoanele puse in parbriz trebuie sa scrie ca nu se conduce ce ele montate, mai conteaza daca ai frana sau nu?

deci a avut timp sa dea telefon la un politist sa ii povesteasca, dar nu a avut timp sa traga presu de pe pedala???

ii trageam o frana de inroseam discurile...sau rupeam pedalieru...
mi se pare lipsita de logica intamplarea, cand esti intr-o astfel de situatie suni la 112 ? plus ca ala nici nu intelegea problema...
sau macar p=aia de la serviciu de urgenta sa-i instruiasca ca sa poate da raspunsuri gen: "apasa frana !!! "

e ceva ciudat..cand calci frana ..actioneaza amreiajul....la automate....

deci sa nu fie mai complexa situatia.....

te referi la blocajul pentru hidrotransformator ? ala e ambreiaj la automate ?
oricum la franare de urgenta banuiesc ca nu mai exista logica asta, decupleaza transmisia direct...

recall audi a3 si audi tt, datorita unor scurgeri de combustibil.

If you've got an Audi A3 or TT and like to drive it hard, you may want to check in with your local dealer, because a recall notice has been issued that is directly focused on enthusiastic drivers.

The action concerns a spring that holds the fuel tank ventilation valve closed. Under "extreme driving conditions", the spring in question might not be strong enough to prevent gasoline from leaking out. And since that could start a fire, this recall strikes us as rather important.

The vehicles in question include some 10,200 A3s, TT coupes and TT Roadsters built between September 29, 2005 and August 26, 2009. Volkswagen of America will be contacting vehicle owners to notify them of the recall, and Audi dealerships will replace the faulty ventilation valves with an improved design free of charge. Full details in the recall notice after the jump.

Toyota cam da kiks. Se pare ca topurile de calitatea au fost cam lejer facute in ultimii ani.

Toyota Motor este investigata de catre autoritatile americane pentru siguranta traficului, in urma unor reclamatii privind corodarea sasiului la modelul pickup Tundra produs in 2000 si 2001, care ar provoca defectarea sistemului de franare sau pierderea rotii de rezerva, potrivit Mediafax. Investigatia are loc la o saptamana dupa ce producatorul auto japonez a rechemat pentru reparatii un numar record de 3,8 milioane de vehicule pentru a remedia riscul ca acceleratia sa fie apasata accidental prin deplasarea unui covoras de masina, problema suspectata a fi la baza decesului a cinci persoane.

doamne feri (daca am inteles eu bine) solutia toyota pentru problema covoraselor buclucase se pare ca e legarea lor de scaun:

tapis-lexus-toyota.jpg

btw, din ce vad eu:

image002_opt.jpg

problema e de proiectare, practic pedala ajunge prea jos in pozitie normala atunci cand ai covorase.. Deci e o problema destul de serioasa pe care toyota o trateaza cu fundu

http://www.leblogauto.com/2009/10/fixer-un...ode-toyota.html

Asta la un Lexus?? Care costa intre 30.700 si 46.900??

se pare ca da.

Cum puteți pune botul la așa poze? Sunt la mișto făcute, iar aia nu-i pedală de Lexus. În fine, să nu vă cumpărați Lexus.

ultima poza si normal ca nu e de lexus ci de toyota, care a avut si ea modele implicate in acest recall si nu e trucata :

*  2007-2010 Camry
    * 2005-2010 Avalon
    * 2004-2009 Prius
    * 2005-2010 Tacoma

recall skoda roomster si opel corsa d , in europa:

Volvemos ahora como casi todos los sábados con las últimas llamadas a revisión. Dos son esta semana los vehículos notificados por el Instituto Nacional del Consumo y la red de alertas rápidas de la Unión Europea: El Skoda Roomster, y el Opel Corsa D. Ninguno de los dos fabricantes es de los propicios a aparecer en los boletines de servicio, pero así son las cosas.

Empezando por el checo, el Roomster ha sido equipado con un clip incorrecto en el clip del cinturón de seguridad trasero central, por lo que (citamos textualmente) "en caso de avería los parámetros especificados para la fijación del clip no son correctos". Skoda ha comunicado que se encargará de sustituir la pieza en las unidades afectadas.

En cuanto al Opel Corsa, desde Alemania se informa de que el coche podría presentar problemas de seguridad debido al uso de unos tornillos incorrectos para fijar los asientos delanteros al chasis del vehículo. Como consecuencia, "la solidez de los tornillos y el funcionamiento del sistema completo asiento/cinturón de seguridad" podría no responder en caso de accidente. Opel revisará los coches afectados, identificables por haber sido fabricados en 2009 con números de chasis W0L0 SD L08 9 6 121296 a W0L0 SD L08 9 6 131696.

Apropos de problemele de la Toyota:
O privire mai atent asupra problemei de "acceleratie subita" ale autoturismelor Toyota.

    In a case such as Saylor’s where the owner is unfamiliar with the vehicle, relying on the driver’s in-depth knowledge of the owner’s manual is not practical, pointing to the need for a more obvious solution. Safety experts also pointed out the fact that modern brake-assist systems operate with a vacuum powered assistance – a vacuum that is reduced or eliminated under full throttle. The result is that considerable force on the brake pedal may result in minimal stopping power.
    To demonstrate the problem of relying on power-assisted brakes in the case of sudden and uncontrollable acceleration, the attorney for Guadalupe Gomez explained the details of his client’s case, “He [Gomez] was held hostage for 20 miles on a Bay Area freeway by a 2007 Camry traveling more than 100 mph. Gomez was unable to turn off the engine or shift into neutral and then burned out his brakes before slamming into another car and killing that driver.”

Se pune problema prioritizarii: Frana sau acceleratia? In cazul Toyota, acceleratia are prioritate. Oare cum o fi sa faci scoala auto pe asa ceva? Sa vrea instructorul sa opreasca iar cursantul sa tot accelereze...
