What a bad joke this is. I have no doubt that almost all the accidents blamed on “sudden acceleration” were actually caused by driver error when drivers mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal when they intended to step on the brake. (The other very few accidents are probably caused by extremely rare defects in electronic components). The Audi 5000 was accused of the same problem back in the 80s and as far as I know Audi never found anything wrong with it and concluded that some drivers just didn’t know how to operate their vehicles. I would bet that Toyota knows that almost all of the accidents are caused by driver error but they’re following the long-run strategy that Audi took, which is not blaming drivers and letting the problem fade away over time. It would be a big mistake for Toyota to say what is the actual cause of almost all the crashes (driver error) because then Toyota would become the number 1 subject of late night jokes as Letterman and others joke about how Toyota blamed the drivers for its “defective cars.”

Over the long run, Toyota owners will continue to replace their vehicles with new Toyotas because they had a good experience as owners and Toyota will continue to prosper. I drove a Toyota for five years and had no problems with it, and I wouldn’t hesitate to jump into a Toyota and drive one right now. I doubt that this is a plot by GM or the UAW, but I would bet that the MSM is giving this more air time than it really deserves because Toyota factories are primarily located in Republican-controlled states.

Spot on. I was just saying this to someone earlier today. This is Bovine Scat spurred on by the state run media, trial lawyers, unions, and the lowlife scumbag Demonrats.

I doubt they can even reproduce the problem. The cause is DWD. Driving while demoncrat aka driving while dumbsh!t. Slamming the accelerator pedal to the floor instead of the brake pedal.

I've read your post (/Salute) and I would like to expound my experience,

People who drive with the left foot on the brake, and the right foot on the pedal
are asking for an accident. And I'm seeing drivers do this more often these days.

Recently I've been behind drivers who tap their brakes when there isn't any vehicle in
front of them going up an entrance ramp. I swing around and see they are on their CELL!

Many drivers these days are double footing because they are not paying attention to
the road as they should be according to most laws. (Reckless Driving)

Driving behind a double peddler is annoying, and the damage they do is worse.

I blame them for the accidents. And I am certain it's not just Toyo..
