Wait, according to the Tin Hat people at FR, this recall is a conspiracy to help GM.

Why would NHSTA approve this fix so quickly?

How can Toyota gas pedals all have the same problem in models ranging from compact Corollas to Tundra trucks?

I think that’s another diversion from the real issue, like the bogus floor mat claim.

I think the real problem will be in buggy electronics.

And that will be Toyota’s BIG problem, when it comes out they’ve known this for years.

the company's sticky gas pedals

What sticky gas pedals? I have two of the cars under recall (2007s both), and I don't know what they're talking about. Neither vehicle has acted like "Christine" as yet. But maybe they're just lying in wait. . .

Why do they need Federal government approval? Just more crap from the Left to keep us busy.

Can someone tell me why Toyota needs federal permission to fix their cars?

Sounds to me like the feds are looking to take “credit” for this fix.

Remember the big Audi scandal years ago, when some old people couldn’t tell “D” from “R” on a floor shifter? That nearly ruined Audi in the US. Now the gas pedal gets stuck under the floormat, and Toyota recalls a million cars.

Three people briefed on the matter say Toyota Motor Corp. has received clearance from federal regulators on a fix for the company's sticky gas pedals.

You know, me being a constitutionalist type of guy, seeing a statement like that makes my skin crawl.

They must truely be geniuses. To come up with a fix for 4.2 million cars(2.3 US)seemingly overnight.Just this past week,Toyota was saying the”defective” parts were all made by the same American manufacturer. The blame the manufacturer doesn’t wash.Toyota had a bad design and has known it for a long time.I look at any accelerator,brake,or steering components without a mechanical connection with a jaundiced eye.
