SALT LAKE CITY -- The largest car recall in Toyota history just got a lot bigger. Starting in January, Toyota will reconfigure or replace gas pedals in nearly 4 million Toyota and Lexus cars and trucks.

But is it enough to fix the problem? Ron Knott, a mechanic at Hansen Service near 200 North and 200 West in Salt Lake City, says it's a bit like having your doctor treat your symptoms instead of the disease that's causing them.

The problem is runaway acceleration. It was thought at first to be blamed on gas pedals that were somehow becoming caught or stuck on the floor mat.

"The real problem is with the ECM -- the brain or computer of the car," says Knott.
