Why can't those american people have a tiny bit of BRAIN and simply turn the key off, put it in neutral or at least steer the car along a guardrail to brake it? I can't understand that...
No, of course they are not. I'm sorry, it wasn't meant to say all americans are stupid. I just can't understand how you can have a drivers licence while not being able to stop a car...
The problem is an electronic problem. A weak magnetic pulse from cell phone or road sensor will cause full throttle effect.
The hall effect sensor picks up magnetic road sensor pulse. Take a magnet and place it near your gas pedal and see what happens. There is a magnetic strip inside that sits in front of the sensor. The void is where they magnetize the tapered metal strips. The metal part they are putting in looks like it will shield the hall effect sensor.
If the pedal does get stuck just put the car in neutral by pushing the shifter, you do not even have to press that little button on the shifter to do this, it is a safety mechanism. Have a nice day.
I heard Phil Edmonston (author of Lemon-Aid Used Cars and Trucks 2009-2010) on the radio this morning... Toyota has known about the accelerator issue for over 6 years. And, done NOTHING about it. Think of the hundreds of people who have DIED!
F^&K Toyota - They should all be BANNED in North America and have all Insurance on them REVOKED. I don't want one crashing into me or my kids.

Well, that was the problem here. Nobody really thought ahead of what to do when your car screws up.
P.S. Sorry for lashing out at you lol
