Toyota Tundra 2009: Toyota requiring customer to pay for repair of defective floor mat that slides forward and jams accelerator pedal. Accelerating to speed on on-ramp. Removed foot from pedal after merging onto interestate, but vehicle continued to accelerate. Had to pry back accelerator pedal with foot and then noticed that mat had jammed accelerator pedal. All-weather floor-mat purchased as part of vehicle. This could have caused serious injury. Removed floor mat as indicated by initial recall. Contacted Toyota dealership as part of pedal/floor mat recall. Told that I would have to purchase separate retainer to secure floor-mat. Does not make sense to have a recall and then insist that customers pay for their failures and defects. The safety retainer should have came with the vehicle. It does in other vehicles.
