I was wrong!

In the wake of the public relations scandal surrounding Toyota's Sudden Acceleration defect that killed innocent victims, you might believe that Toyota was responsive, but you're wrong!

I was wrong!

Instead of addressing and correcting the BRAKE FAILURE of my Toyota, Route 44 Toyota reported:

NO COMPUTER ERROR MESSAGE

How can I drive a car with NO BRAKES??

Relatives mourn the death of Chris Lastrella and his family in a fatal car accident after the accelerator pedal jammed.





James Sikes, whose 2008 Toyota Prius accelerated suddenly on a California interstate Monday, reaching 94 MPH before he was able to bring it under control with the help of the California Highway Patrol, said the cause of the incident was a "stuck" accelerator.

According to Sikes, he held on to his steering wheel and tried to pull the accelerator pedal back with his right hand. "I thought it was maybe stuck," he said. "Somehow the pedal was stuck. But it wasn't stuck on anything that was visible."

Toyota has issued separate recalls to fix floor mats and "sticky" accelerator pedals. The 2008 Prius is covered by the floor mat recall, but not the accelerator recall. It uses a different accelerator pedal than the cars that allegedly have "sticky" pedals.

Sikes said that he also checked his floor mat during the incident, and the mat was "perfect."











There's more to the story that amateurs don't understand and engineers haven't solved.

Please consider carefully before you risk your life and the lives of those you love.
