From: Mike Hunter on
One would suspect that if one had a choice, that most drivers would rather
have the "impression that the brakes have failed" then actually having their
car get out of control, as has been happing in so many of Toyotas documented
cases that have resulted in 54 deaths and numerous injuries thus far.

I read the Journal that the SEC has opened an investigation of Toyota for
not having included their know problems, with cars going out of control that
could effect the future value of their stock, in their Stock Prospectus.
That is a very serous offence, if it is proves to be factual
