There's no issue when driven as designed.

As for unintended acceleration.. Also a non-issue. Has never been
duplicated by ANYONE. Yet Toyota again steps up and looks into what
could be an issue. They find what could possibly wear and issue a fix.
Recall.

Thing us on that is it's not a all of a sudden experience. It happens
over tome on high milage, high humidity vehicles. It slowly builds.
You just don't hop in your car one day and it happens. It slowly
builds up. Over thousands of miles.

This all goes back to NUMMI and the major conflict of interest with GM
and the government. Do you think the uaw has anything to gain?

Now, people are staffing accidents and issues and then blaming Toyota.
Payday anyone?

People - just stop. The cars are fine. Still the best built cars on
the planet. This wasn't Y2K and all of a sudden Toyotas stopped working.

Consumers need to take responsibility. Read the owners manual.

This is my opinion.
