Toyotas bungle..., and they keep piling on?! Options

[easternpiro1]

I may be wrong but i havent seen any threads about toyota's collosal $h!t storm thats raining on their heads right now.... does anybody have the inside track as to whats going on? i know what the news says, but theyre often full of it...

I personally thing that the US is going at toyota EXTREMELY hard for their first major flaw in AGES... could this be to weaken toyota while bolstering ford and GM?! SURE SEEMS LIKE IT!


hyprocrites... after all the damn recalls that american cars have REPEATEDLY?!?! pisses me off!

also... i got a letter from toyota about my gas pedal lmao! ITS A CELICA!!

Could you elaborate ?

Seems to me to be the " Audi Unintended acceleration" all over again ?
Possibly; drivers Thinking they are pressing the brakes when they are pressing the gas pedal ?

Even IF the car went open throttle, the brakes can still stop (At Least slow ) the car ?
I have the Mar. '10 issue of Car and Driver. " Runaway Toyotas "

Run away Toyotas

"brakes are stronger than the engine"

How many drivers on the board think 90mph is "unsafe" ?
Oh the Crazy Trans-Warp speed !
