Most likely the extraordinary hype about Toyota's problems are caused
by the OBAMA bunch. Chrysler and GM are both owned by the
government.
Can you say CONSPIRACY? More of a witch hunt aimed at smearing the
TOYOTA brand to promote MoPAR and GM.
Granted Toyota may have some glitches but what car company is perfect.

if a ceo of a American manf. were to testify in the same clueless way what
would have you response been.
I think I have already seen it, but you are ready to forgive a jap manf. who
has been eating our free lunch for
years at the same time pocketing our money at a alarming rate. I don't care
how you slice it the japs have been
stealing American jobs for years, causing American companies to go off shore
in order to compete and this is not just autos. remember steel, textiles,
electronics etc. then china helped out now the Koreans also if it dosnt stop
our kids and grandkids will all be flipping burgers etc.

I once had a Chevy that would go full-throttle unexpectedly, and it was the
car -- specifically it was the Cruise Control.

Driving along with the Cruise engaged, I would hit the brake for any number
of reasons and the car would slow, but when the brake was released the car
would go to full-throttle to Resume the set speed. The clue of what the
problem was came when a driver pulled up in the lane next to me and said my
brake lights did not come on. Putting two and two together -- I slowed then
let off the brake and went to full throttle -- I told the service department
that the brake light switch on the brake pedal was not working properly.

I don't know that Toyota has the same problem, or not, but my instinct is
that whatever is happening is in a similar vein as what happened in my
Chevy. I do not buy the idea that the pedal is sticking either by floor mats
or by mechanical problems with the pedal itself. I'm leaning to a problem
with the electronics.

That's where the answer lays.

Hey Pinhead, if anything its the opposite, the press is whats brought
this to light not the NHTSA, dont forget Toyota hired retired NHTSA
employees that squashed investigations and Toyotas own documents Brag
how they saved hundreds of millions , its the document Mr Toyoda
"doesnt know about" "since its in English", and he went to Babson in
the US, dont post some stupid lies, learn the truth about everything.
