I could tell in this guys face that he was a douche bag.
I totally agree, Toyota makes good cars. I wonder how many of these people have had some random malfunction and just panicked? I wonder how many of these thought they tried everything, but were so panicked that they didn’t remember the situation clearly?
Also, I think many of the other manufacturers have also had complaints about runaway acceleration. I am glad Toyota is being proactive, they should get some of these cars back in the dealership to be fixed.
But of course this issue is being exaggerated. At over 40,000 people a year dieing on our roads every year, these acceleration problems account for a minute amount of them.
The median age for drivers of runaway Toyotas is 60 years old. I’m sure that Toyota’s statistics are similar to just about any other car.
Seeing him on TV reminded me of that crazy “royal” husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor who said he could have been the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby.
