  • The lack of compassion some people have truly sickens me.

  • 20 years ago, my dad's Nissan Z350 was stuck with the accelerator ON when he was coming home from work. I can't recall if he said it was the 71 or 60 FWY in Chino Hills, but the car was having major mechanical issues and he couldn't get it to shift into neutral of turn off (and obviously the breaks weren't working). Basically, he drove it off the shoulder of the freeway and did doughnuts in a field for over 30 minutes before "control" crashing it in a ditch. Stopped the engine. He was lucky.

  • Got to love all the haters of America. No respect at all for human life. An entire family killed and some people laugh? If you laughed at this then it is you and your country that need the help.

  • Jesus christ Americans really are dumb to the point of being a danger to themselves. Additionally, I laughed at the pray bit, I am sure your sky fairy will save you...wait.

  • @thatguywiththeegg laughed?! show some compassion!

  • @5implesimon You showed compassion to a video? The driver murdered his family because he didn't know how to fucking drive a car. I laughed because religious fairy tales are the sign of a sun worshiping primitive. Nothing of value was lost, they are just Americans.

  • @thatguywiththeegg ok bud whatever u say

  • @thatguywiththeegg

    No show compassion and respect for the dead. I know that's a foreign concept to you atheists..

  • Was he some kind of retard or something?

  • Here in Finland almost everyone drives a manual gearbox car. Cant happen to us. :)

  • thats horrible

  • Ive had a car accelerate out of control on me before. Turned the ignition off but it kept on running, then threw it into neutral but it took massive effort. People make it sound like its a piece of cake until it happens to them. RIP to this poor family.

  • Alot of talk about throwing in neutral, scraping wall, turn off ignition. The problem I see is when people panic they lose their ability to think clearly. I've raced for years and have had my throttle stick wide open. And even though I know what to do, sometimes there isnt time to make a difference before crashing. But you CAN try to get car in neutral, it may take a hard bang, or yank on gear lever because of the load the gears are under. Acceleration will stop, and that's KEY! GOD SPEED.

  • Comment removed

  • If this happens to you , set the car on (N) and slowly press the breaks and the emergency break. This can save your life and others.

  • fucken japs can't even make a car right?

  • First, Jesus Christ! Second, you can't just grind a barrier (if in fact there was one), because contact at 120MPH would likely have set the car flipping. Lastly, humans are neither heartless nor immortal, and in this case I wish we were:.(

  • Pray! Pray! Well that didn't work....as usual.

  • why not try...

    1) put it into neutral

    2) turn off the engine

    3) grind the crash barrier

  • @daveyg1966

    4) simply break (the breaks always have to be at least twice as strong as the engine itself by law)

    5) use handbrake to slow down then try 3.

    6) kick the gas pedal, it may get loose again

    7) don't panic, don't trust in god to help you

  • And this is why I drive stick.

  • They got what they deserved. Thats what happenes when you outsource American jobs, its called evolution... weeding out the idiots in society

  • @VirginiasLoudest dude respect the dead youre more like virginia's dumbest

  • @QuetzalElla "dude" do everyone a favor and shut your annoying oriental ass up because god knows you cant fucking sing. moronic gooks....

  • @VirginiasLoudest XD wow you really are stupid arent you? im not even asian you moronic fuck. i mean holy hell you're some piece of work. obviously evolution lets some idiots slide through the cracks. im probably more educated that you are you backwards mother fucker. oh sorry thats reality not an insult. inbred idiot.

  • Dunno why everyone's blaming the driver. There were three other people in that car, two of which are adults and can just as easily have said to put the car in neutral. The 911 operator didn't make the suggestion either. If the problem was just not putting the car in neutral then they're all equally to blame (except for the child).

  • The breakeforce ist stronger than the motor, so you can stop the car.

  • why couldnt they turn that shit off??

  • PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL DO NOT PULL THE EBRAKE UNTIL U SLOW DOWN!!!! if u pull the e brake too early you'll lose control!!! put the horn dead on and do not stop .... if u see grass attempt to swerve onto it to slow down this happened to me thank god i was able to drive unto a park and we stopped in sand

  • the new cars- like after 2008- are now able to go into neutral though- luckily

  • @mikethenascarfan older cars can depends eh so scary

  • @KareenCasey yeah- but in older cars the accellerator isnt electronic

  • you cant put an automatic into nuetral when you are travelling 120 mph- your transmission will not allow you to- unless you override the electronics system- something alot of cars dont have easy access to

  • My camry was made in japan and i havent had one problem. No noise, no pedal problems, excellent gas mileage and no shaking like the ford trucks which was recalled a little while back because it shook while the driver pressed he brake. You dont know shit about cars because if you did you would know that asian cars such as toyota,nissan and hyndai are way better than ford,gm,etc when it comes to quality and durability. Theyre only bad when theyre made in the US.

  • I pity all the idiots commenting n this video and talking shit about toyota. Its funny how you talk about toyota recalls bet yet still your American built fords, gm's and Chevrolet have all had more recalls than Toyota. This is irrefutable fact. This shit is nothing more than American government propaganda to fool silly Americans into buying shitty american made cars. The Toyotas recalled were made in America. The ones made in japan were not. They used denso pedals.US used cts pedals.

  • It's kind of easy for all of the internet tough guys to blather about putting it in neutral. When you are there in the moment and have a car full of your family racing to 120 mph you can not think straight and would not know how to react.

    Again, the internet tough guys will hate on my posting but in all honesty if it happen to you then you would probably piss your pants. At least this guy had the mind to pray.

  • @texan176 Don't tell me how I would react. I had my power brakes fail. I downshifted then pulled the ebrake so fast the automatic car actually stalled. Scared the shit out of me, but I didn't hit anybody. Morons like this guy don't give a shit about driving safety and put everyone else at risk. I'm not a tough guy like you say, these are driving basics, if you don't react in this situation you are a greedy asshole who shouldn't drive especially with your family.

  • put it in "N" turn off the engine and u use the E braek

  • @quiwritonech

    I know this is blatant spam and all, but there is no need to put a period between each letter in 'Call Of Duty MW3 Beta Key At'. But thanks, it's easier to spot the spam so I can report it.

  • I guess the state of california approved of his driving ability enough to grant him a driver license and the california highway patrol felt he was qualified to be a highway patrolman... this has to stop. there is a big difference between knowing how to operate a motor vehicle and being a competent, sportsmanlike driver who takes motoring seriously.....WE NEED REAL DRIVER EDUCATION AND TESTING PROGRAMS IN CALIFORNIA

  • If u r about to exceed 120 , with out putting your car in neutral "u r on some good shit " lol

  • I don't like to even have a toyota driving behind me, they are so dangerous. I'm glad to see that resale values of all toyota/lexus products have been trashed. People are waking up that toyota hid it's massive quality problems for years, and they are still hiding it.

  • its sad that people are too stupid to figure out how to put a damn car in neutral LOL! im glad that all the idiots with an IQ less than 70 are dieing off so we can live in a moron free world..... too bad they had to blame it on the best car maker in the world....

  • @furmaster212 Obviously someone else that did not see the story about this. This happened to several people not just one. It was a malfunction. it would not help to put your car in Neutral when the gas pedal is stuck.

  • @richie60647 im sorry but all i have to say to your comment is, wow.... do you even have a drivers licence? have you ever been inside of a motor vehicle? i hope this happens to you some day because that is absolutely rediculous if you think that putting the car in neutral wont do annything. this is EXACTLY why the idiots died, because they are ignorant like you! LOL!!!!

  • @furmaster212 look fuck face you are an imbecile, wishing death on other people? I want you to get your car up to 120 mph, keep your foot on the gas pedal and then throw it in neutral, see what happens.

  • @richie60647 first of all, ive had my car up to 160 BIISH!!! second of all ive thrown a car in neutral manny times and it does nothing, why dont you do it...lol all it does is take the car out of gear and the engine revs out and u can stop...fucking imbicile!!!

  • @furmaster212 Your probably some broke down piece of what trash that doesn't even own a car.

  • @richie60647 actually i have a 1988 TOYOTA Corolla GT-s Turbo...it runs 11.28in the 1/4 mile and tops out at 160 MPH :)

  • if its just a floor mat you can pull up the gas pedal with your feet then hit the brake. the driver should put the shift on neutral so that it won't accelerate. but... hay.. it's an accident.

  • This was a loaner from a Lexus dealer. Their car was being repaired and they took a rental/ loaner while the car was in the repair facility. I am thinking......big law suit.

  • @mosslimbater big law suit where? the people are dead.

  • In car and driver magazine, june 2011 the US DOT released the study that many of us were waiting for. The verdict? Other than matts catching on the gas pedal or similar things all accidents were driver error. "Pedal misapplication" was the word. This particular accident was caused by the wrong floor matts being installed. The car was a lexus es350, the matts were from a lexus rs.

  • So you had time to call 911 and talk but couldn't put it in neutral? Sorry but you shouldn't have been allowed to operate the vehicle.

  • 1. it is harder then you think to think in a situation like this

    2. there have been crashes where the floor mats were not in the car there for acceleration was caused by something else

    3. Consumers reports saw this in there testing and didn't report it because Toyota paid them to give good reviews

  • i respect your opinion decisions are hard to make in most serious situations but thank you for listening to me

  • IM VERY DISTURBED BY SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT ARE BEING POSTED NOOOOOOOOOOO ONE SHOULD BLAME A VICTIM THAT IS WHY THE WORLD WE LIVE IS DOOMED COME ON A FAMILY LOST 4 PEOPLE BECAUSE TOYOTA COULDNT AND DIDNT TAKE RESPONSIBILTY FOR THEIR DEATH TRAPS THEY CALL CARS OWN YOUR MISTAKES A FAMILY IS DEVESTATED ANYONE THAT CAN SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE SHOULD BURN IN HELL BUT WHAT PEOPLE ARE MISSING IS HEARING THE FEAR IN THE MANS VOICE AS THEY APPROACH THEIR UNTIMELY DEATH AND THE 911 OPERATOR IS TO CALM?

  • @kynaladyjade83 I don't see how Toyota is at any reasonable fault. EVERY CAR HAS THE ABILITY TO GO INTO NEUTRAL even if the throttle is stuck! A family dies because the DRIVER IS STUPID.

  • @kynaladyjade83 No one should blame the victim? This is 100% the victim's fault! Someone too stupid to put a car into neutral shouldn't be allowed to drive. What is worse is once the 911 operator started dialog that could had resulted in a prompt solution the 911 uperator was interrupted to by the driver to ask the 911 operator to PRAY for him instead of find ACTUAL SOLUTION! Stupidity and religion which is often the result of stupidity, KILLS

  • @aratidwell You just can't wait to somehow knock religion, can you, you pathetic twit. I bet if you were facing a fatal situation, you would be saying OMG as well. You're a douche.

  • @ToyKingWonder Well.... #1 I would be smart enough to put the car in neutral. #2 I wouldn't had interrupted the 911 operators trouble shooting to ask him to pray to a non existant never seen before invisible space alien. #3 if he had lived and killed any of his passengers, he should had been arrested for vehicular mansluaghter

  • @aratidwell There you go again, with your invisible space alien comment. Not only do you knock religion, but you use the same dimestore expressions, "invisible space alien", "fairy tale", "imaginary man in the sky"--you don't even have the grey matter to be creative. What I really love about people like you, is you make your crass comments with the same smugness and self-righteousness that you no-doubt attribute to those who believe in God. Truth is, neither you, me, or anyone else...

  • @ToyKingWonder Look dude... I don't even really know exactly what you are trying to say but my point stands. Instead of thinking about how to save his family this driver went to the delusion he and so many other mentally ill people base their entire life and reality on.... for believers there is nothing three letters can't explain... the problem is that explination will never be a thruth

  • @lilydalebunny turning off the ignition will only lock your wheel (very bad idea). Neutral is the only way to go. They must have been in to much panic to think.

  • @GeauxBreaux96 Usually moving it only one notch will not lock the wheel, at least in every single vehicle I have driven. NUETRAL would had been the best solution and the 911 operator may had gotten to that point into the trouble-shooting had the driver not interrupted the 911 dialog that could had led to a life saving solution to instead ask the operator to PRAY for him. People who believe in the afterlife shouldn't be allowed to drive.

  • CHP officer doesn`t know how to place car in neutral ???

  • HOW STUPID CAN THESE PEOPLE BE!?!??!?! The DANGER OF RELIGOUS BELIEF!!!!!! PRAY TO SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST TO SAVE US! INSTEAD OF TURN THE CAR OFF OR PUT IT IN NUETRAL! Toyota SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE FOR THIS. If the DRIVER SURVIVED HE SHOULD HAD BEEN ARRESTED FOR RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT!

  • @aratidwell FUck off

  • @aratidwell SINCE YOU HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS TO LISTEN TO THIS AND KNOW THAT THEY DIDNT SURVIVE THEY DIDNT KNOW THAT MAYBE 4 OF YOUR RELATIVES SHOULD GET THEIR SIMPLE ASSES IN A DEFECTIVE CAR AND DIE THERE WERE INVESTIGATIONS ALREADY IN MOTION FOR DEFECTIVE CARS, LETS NOT FORGET IT WASNT EVEN THERE CAR IT WAS A RENTAL FROM THE SAME DELEARSHIP WERE THEIR CAR WAS BEING SERVICED

  • @kynaladyjade83 Defective car? Sounds like a defective DRIVER. My dad had his accelerator get stuck in his 2008 Honda Accord because of the floor mat, he just moved the floor mat! But NEUTRAL would had worked also! It wasn't the cars fault here, IT WAS THE DRIVERS

  • I would think the 911 operator needed to be a little faster in helping - as soon as he heard the accelrator is stuck - he should tell them to PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL!.... WTF

  • us 10 million as compensation from toyota

  • if the cars full throttle you cant shift from drive cuz of the tension on the trasmission.. but u can turn the car off... or just wreck the car so u dont kill anyone else, find a nice tree and run your dumb ass into it...

  • Couldn't he just put the car in neutral?

  • Turn you engine off

  • "It's even locked the ignition so I can't turn the engine off."

    Darwin award.

  • @mzmadmike

    This guy earns the Darwin Award for the 2000's unfortunately :(

  • o and it didnt jus accelerate, when he was pushin the gas it stayed down and if it went all on its own i think he woulda said it took off with out him doing anything, let alone 60 70 80 90 100 110 now lets calll 911, hmmm

  • u keep saying logical falllacies but u do nothing to prove them to be false besides saying logical fallacies

  • your right i was i just lost my shit and wasw freaking out hardcore and all i said was stay calm and i stayed calm.....oh wait that didnt happen bc thats retarded

  • Could it have been suicide? Cops have a high suicide rate!

  • This guy was a cop who was trained to stay calm, why didn't he put the car in nuetral?? If the link to the transmission is manuel then why didn't he do it? Something happened that he couldn't in my opinion. Turning the car off would have locked the steering wheel, at that speed turning the key to on for steering could have started the car back on. Automatic cars can be push started at high speeds so I've been told? Why is the question?

  • one of my best friends was a marine and now is a mo state trooper, thats exactly how he described his bootcamp and police academy training, they break u through psyical activity, then test you so u fail in training. when you fail or" die" in training you learn from ur mistakes and learn a shit load about urself, if "fail" or die in the real world you dont learn anything bc ur dead

  • im really currious on how many people new what to do before this happened, how many people have first aid and road aid kits in their car, how many of u have a punch in ur console or glove box?

  • i remember when i heard this the first time, i dont know how many ppl were in the car but it is a clear reminder for all to take deep breathes remain calm and rational, panic is the enemy of rational

  • Comment removed

  • Oh i remember this, it was right here in San Diego. a California Highway Patrolman was renting a car and it had a push start ignition and he didn't know how to turn it off.

  • @rocafella142 this dude was a cop?

  • @tsharpmac420 Yea he was.

  • people r saying u loose power steering, then easily shut off car and turn it to accessory to regain power simple as that u dont need the car on to have steer jus full accs.

  • @azurinskyy yea you dont even have to turn it all the way to off u can stop at accersory and dont most new cars keep accersorys on intill any one of the doors open after you take the key out of the ignition

  • No this is scary they should mandate that the transmission must not in anyway be connected to computer overide or control in anyway!

  • Why didn't he put the car in nuetral? Better yet throw it in reverse and blow the transmission up?? Why?? He was a cop, why?? I know these new cars are controled to much by computers and computers F..... up. Is is possible that the gear shift is also electronic like the gas pedal? If so do away with that system!! I can tell he was afraid to turn off the car he could lose steering, lock steering wheel. This computer system threw a fuse so if your driving a new car you too may be screwed.

  • Why didn't he put the car in nuetral? Better yet throw it in reverse and blow the transmission up?? Why?? He was a cop, why?? I know these new cars are controled to much by computers and computers F..... up. Is is possible that the gear shift is also electronic like the gas pedal? If so do away with that system!!

  • .......turn off the fucking gas man! Plus, you wasted your last few minutes talking to some dude on the phone, what exactly is that meant to accomplish? Stupidity these days has gone right through the glass ceiling.

  • @amn201 thats the kinda shit that happens when ppl panic, this dude was a cop, trained to be an expert driver and taught the importance of trying to remain calm, it is crazy shit, like 2 months after my 16th b-day something like that happened to me in a truck on a hilly winding rural highway i freaked for a 2nd took a deep breath, put it in nuetral and didnt die

  • @tsharpmac420 Cops still panic. They're humans also. especially when you're in a situation like that and you have your wife and little girl in the car. and you have a push start vehicle and don't know how to turn if off. panix sets in

  • @rocafella142 yea but u missed my point. cops do panic and lose the calm mentality that is why they train all cops on ways to stay calm and keep panic undercontrol so if they do panic they will be better able to not completly wig out and do some dumb crazy shit, like call 911 like this dude, or shoot the wrong person, or shoot at a person and kill someone else

  • @tsharpmac420 They don't train cops to not panic. Only thing they do is tell them they need to stay calm theres no way to tain a person to not panic. I'm trying to be a cop I already graduated from a police academy and know what they teach.

  • Comment removed

  • @rocafella142 really they just stay calm and then dont give u any strategys to stay calm? shit i wish i would have kknown that all u have to to stay calm is say stay calm like its a magic fuckin spell

  • @tsharpmac420 what makes you think they're calm? you watch too many movies. When someone points a gun at a cop they aren't calm. They shit their pants.

  • @rocafella142 How stressful was the academy, did you ever have days where they pushed you beyond what you thought you could do, did they make you run a shit load till ur on the verge of exastion and then ask you questions on ur duty as a cop, did they break you down physcaly over and over and over again and then test u mentally when u are dead tired.....thats how u teach ppl to not respond to panic

  • @tsharpmac420 Nope, academy was easy for me but i'm sure some others felt that way. And that's not how you teach people how to not panic.....not at all.... you can't teach someone not to panic -.- What you jsut said was pretty fallacious. Running till you're tired and blah blah whatever you said is different then someone pointing a shotgun at your face trying to blow your brains out. You're making cops seem like they're robots. They're fucking humans!

  • @rocafella14 when that dude points a gun at you, your body releases adrnaline. you know what that does it make ppl irrational. there is a huge differnce between emotions felt by a rational person in a stressfull situation and a emotions felt by an irrationale person, cops are human they do get angry, they do get scared, they do get suspicous, but they are able to remain in a rational state of mind, this guys adrenaline started pumping and he immedatly paniced and became extremly irrational.

  • @tsharpmac420 not all remain in a rational state of mind. that's what i'm trying to tell you. no ones brain thinks the same. yea in the academy they teach you drills on what to do in a situation like that. in the real world it's totally different and when you're in that situation shit you learned in academy goes out the window. and your body uses it's natural ability to fight or flight based on the adrenaline it released like you said. flight or flight doesn't involve what your learned

  • @rocafella142 if u never learned to run how do u choose flight, if u never learned how to punch how do you choose fight? it may seem like it all goes out the window but in reality u know it so well that you can do it without any conscious thought. u trust ur instincts and react, thats why they push ppl throught the walll, when you gets tired u lose the ability to think clearly the same way you do when you panic

  • @tsharpmac420 its amde into your brain. noone has to teach you to run, or to punch if you're in danger. it's instinct. animal kigdom their fight or flight is instinct no one teaches it.

  • @rocafella142 u learn to walk and run you dont just come out like a deer and walk within 10 mins, its pretty clear that u were lieing about going to an acadmey, there are vids of instruters saying the same shit ive been saying and they are pushing the recruits the same way i said they would,,,,,, but thanks i love a good arguement

  • @tsharpmac420 No shit it takes time to learn to walk. We teach our kids to learn to walk no a days. Back then in caveman days they didn't teach their kids. it's instinct. And yea i spend 11 months of life bullshitting then, yea i didn't go to the academy....my POST certificate says otherwise. What I said is i found the academy EASY do you not listen. I didn't fuckin say they didn't drill us. What I said is it doesn't make a person not scared of shit. stop using logical fallacies to try to win.

  • @rocafella142 you didnt even listen to what i was saying last night, i wasnt saying that cops are robots with no emotions. they are humans with normal emitions like everyone else, but this dude was in a state a panic thats 100% differnt than a rational person who is sacared or angry, this dude was shitting his pants, where are u trying to be a cop so i know to stay away

  • @tsharpmac420 again stop with the logical fallacies. it just show how much of a moron you are.

  • @rocafella142 go grab a dictionary and look up the differnce between panic, and urgency, this dude panics, they dont teach cops to be irrational.

  • @tsharpmac420 or you can shut yp already because you lost the original argument. stop trying to bring up other ones to try and win and sound smart.

  • @rocafella142 they do teach cops urgency, there is a huge differnce u dumbshit, and really shows how much a moron ur are, u cant distungiush between the two

  • @tsharpmac420 omg shut the fuck up i'm not even reading your comments anymore. just stfu already

  • @rocafella142 i pray that if u ever do have a gun pointed at you, you show a sense of urgency because if you panic ur most likly gonna die

  • @tsharpmac420 fuck, you're like an annoying little maggot that wont go away. your mom should of swallowed you you dad cummed in the wrong hole.

  • @rocafella142 lol..........................f­uck u just pwned me.......i cant get pissed at someone who owns my ass with an awsome as comment like that, it was balls....seriously awsome shit

  • @rocafella142 thanks for sharing all your real world cop expiernces, i had know idea douche

  • @tsharpmac420 whatever

  • pendejooooooooo!!!!

    

  • I once test drove a used Explorer. I had the throttle stick due to a improperly positioned plastic cover over the throttle body. It accelerated until I hit the brakes hard and put it in neutral. VERY SIMPLE.

    How hard is it to take proper action BEFORE the vehicle hits 120?

    Although there were throttle failures on Toyotas, what the media ignored is that GM vehicles have more instances of unintended acceleration that Toyotas. And the media ignoring this could cause even MORE deaths.

  • well maybey this car is a automatic and it might not be able to go into netrual when the wheels r spinning, poor people in the car anyone know if anyone got mayjourly hurt?

  • @MrBigIdea2010 turn off the ignition.

  • @spencermel no just put it on N and try to brake and use the emergency break, turning off the ignition will lock the power steering and you dont want that to happen

  • @loulou657 well,yeah i knew that plus they were on a straight highway,when power is out there is still steering but its very hard but still steerable.i just cant believe this happened.a lexus at that.New technology is known for doing this kind of shit. the worst part is that little girl.damn man.

  • I still don't get why they didn't just put it into neutral....

    That lexus is a rear wheel drive car, and the shifter is probably directly connected to the transmission, no reason to not shift into neutral.

    That's why every car should be manual LOL.

  • Toyota is dead, along with half of Japan.... Sell your junk toyota before parts become scarce

  • For all you people who think you can just turn the engine off or put the car into neutral. People did try to do that. But the problem was with the computers getting stuck on accelerating and when you try to put the car into neutral the computer couldn't process the request to put the car into neutral because it's stuck accelerating.

  • @AustinBerndt

    you obviously know nothing about cars. let me educate you a little bit. these cars all have a manual link to the transmission, the shift lever is just that. the computer for the transmission has no way to over ride the driver as you state.

    now lets go a little farther than that. the brakes on a car will overpower the engine, and the key will always shut off the car, same with the push button start.

  • @captainshwammy But people tried the brakes, turning off the engine, and putting the car into neutral and none of those things stopped or even slowed the car. And investigations back up my theory about the computer getting "Stuck" on accelerating.

  • @AustinBerndt as a former Toyota Technician, i can tell you with with complete confidence and rational thought connected with cold hard facts that the "computer" as you are envisioning it, does not exist. the transmission has a manual link to the driver. when you put it in neutral, it's in neutral mechanically ie. not done by a computer. i've been in cars doing test drives when the multiple floormats stuck the pedal down. they weren't all Toyotas. don't put multiple mats in your car.

  • @captainshwammy I just researched on Toyota's website and found that the Prius's gear selector has NO mechanical linkage. The gear selector operates a shift-by-wire mechanism to manipulate the CVT (continuously variable transmission).

  • @AustinBerndt

    thats all well and good but you don't know that the Prius is unable to accelerate while pressing the brake as the electric motor spins backwards during braking. it is mechanically impossible to hit both the gas and the brake in a Prius and the brake will always over ride the throttle. that guy who got busted lying about his Prius having unintended acceleration was laughed at by all Toyota mechanics the instant the story came out. if you knew the mechanics of it you would laugh to.

  • @AustinBerndt

    i was not including the Prius in my previous statement as it is very different mechanically than other vehicles. i also left it out because the Prius has mechanical limitations that make it totally impossible to continue accelerating after the brake pedal is pushed.

  • Could they not turn the engine off? Or use the gears to slow down? Or was there a problem with that also? Must've been terrifying, with kids in the car as well.

  • @MrEreda people have tried, but the cars electronics wouldn't let them, it really sucks and is a scary thought

  • Harsh, RIP. could they not have just turned the ignition off?

  • wow that is heartbreaking

  • I wonder if praying did them any good...

  • @JolleyEFC stfu u peace of shit i hope u fuckin die in fucking accident today bitch

  • Anyone eles think the woman who says WHOOOA at the end sounded like princess peach from mario bros ? xD Now we know where they got the sound effect from =o

  • @xxfree2romexx Wow. That was a dumb comment I made. I do not remember writing that. There is no way the doors could be opened at over 100 MPH. Sorry for the stupid comment.

  • Only Americans die from such stupidity. And he was a cop too -_- killed his family

  • Now now children.....play nice.

  • You know whats fucked about this Very little people know about this this could of been linked to A bluetooth hack or virus And some fucking freak could of Fucked up the cars system so they would die Joe rogan has a podcast about this shit i think its podcast #12

  • @xxzipitxx A bluetooth hack into the controls of a car? So you think you can control a car via bluetooth? Are you stoned?

  • @comanchio1976 No the newer cars almost run on computer Commands So it would'nt be any diffrent then a computer Research about it then come back and i wanna see what u have to say

  • @xxzipitxx The newer cars do not run on computer commands, that's complete made up nonsense. It was a design flaw with the mat that was stuck on the accelerator.

  • @xxzipitxx

    not true, the cars today have all the same user controls as any other.

  • @xxzipitxx this isnt minority report, if u got a new car pop the hood, pop off the plastic cover start her up and have a friend hit the gas, you can see the throttle open and close and cables that go to the gas pedal, not a computer

  • @comanchio1976 im really stoned right now and it seems plausible

  • @tsharpmac420 I was stoned the night before last, and thought that me making a hang-glider out of discarded plastic poppy heads was plausible...thankfully I was too stoned to be bothered even trying.

    You're 100% spot on with your comment below, he had no place being a cop if he cant react well under pressure...I'd hate to be in his jurisdiction, with those kind of standards.

    I dont know about you, but being in those situations really concentrates my mind..after the initial shock that is.

  • @comanchio1976 yea, when u can feel the adrenalin being released into your blood, the rush like ur on speed, its crazy i have to smoke a blunt to calm myself down after shit like that.....the only time i dont like that feeling is when im super high, bc it almost always ends in me notbeing super high anymore

  • Yet They do it in USA, illegal donation came up during a parliamentary budget committee meeting last week. Maehara initially said he didn't know about it, but later acknowledged that his office accepted a 50,000 yen ($590) donation from a longtime supporter, an ethnic Korean resident of Japan whom he had known since childhood, and apologized.Japan's political funding law prohibits lawmakers from accepting donations from foreigners, even if they are Japanese residents or born in Japan

  • shutting off the engine may have been a good idea.

  • @dave1sfx They could'nt turn off the car

  • @xxzipitxx How do you know they tried?

  • @comanchio1976 He asks them You dont have the ability to turn off the car . So i assume they tryd and even befor they got asked if they could turn off the car they would try that

  • @xxzipitxx They hadnt tried it, they thought praying would be more effective.

  • This could not happen with old cars. I talk about those golden days, when YOU were in control in your car. NOT a computer.

  • japanese cars are NOT well built

  • @PensandSteelersrock Fuck off you retard. Only about 8 days ago Ford had to recall 34000 trucks in US and Canada because of defects that could cause fire. American cars are just as shit.

  • @SEGAZealot sorry i didnt mean to make a stereotype comment it just pissed me off this was so sad

  • @PensandSteelersrock i didnt even know they made cars, i thought the only things the did were make playstations, make nintendos, and kill whales

  • @tsharpmac420 well they do, but I must retract my statement as the Japanese do and have built 5 brilliant cars:

    1. Mazda RX7

    2. Toyota Supra

    3. Nissan Murano Cross - Cabrio

    4. Subaru Brat

    5. Lexus LFA

  • @PensandSteelersrock lol, i like and used to own a 3000gt it was badass.i realized i had to get rid of it before i killed myself bc it was deffinitly to much car for a then 19 year old me,
