Yeah, it's probably in the electronics. Mats and sticking pedals
account for only 30% of the runaways. As I understand from the
hearings, CTS pedals accounted for 0 fatality (all fatalities on Denso
pedals).

"About ten Toyota owners have complained to U.S. auto safety
regulators that their vehicles suffered some kind of sudden
acceleration after being repaired under Toyota’s two recalls for the
problem.

The complaints highlighted by safety advocate Sean Kane drew a quick
response today from the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, which said it would investigate."

This is mass hysteria.

Bet there is nothing wrong with the vehicles.

These folks want publicity or money or they are mistaking the cruise control
acceleration for sudden acceleration.

Some folks in the general public are just weird and the media eat it up.
What suckers.

Hysteria? People needing money? The Founder of Apple Computer Steve
Wozniak has a new prius he said he can self replicate himself, the
cars cruise control Self Acceleration, often with high percentage of
attempts.

He was on tv, he said he was ignored by toyota and the NHTSA,
Wozniak says its Software, I believe the genius.

Wozniak needs no money, he said his old prius fleet is fine, he
could afford to own 1000+ Rolls Royces each with its own full time
chauffeur with house. He needs no publicity, wants nothing, and has
the brains you could only wish you were blessed with just 10% of. Do
yourself a favor, read a bit more. The stories I hear are Not of
people having an accident claim or any claim, just scary incidents of
a defect that is not fixed.

Proof of Toyota cheapyness, underhandedness is they fixed new
production Priuses and ignored whats on the road, that is Beancounter
scum mentality to save a buk. And you really believe Toyoda when he
said he didnt know about the memos of Toyota saving millions by
beating the NHTSA. Your either a dumb sucker or toyota rep, im a
toyota owner.

Not limited to Toyota or autos, this is is characteristic of greedy,
finance wonk-led management, generally.
