  • Think the problem was a computer glitch, not an design flaw. Toyota and the us government agreed with that.

  • @toyota4life94 it was the highlander that had had the problem u dumb ass

  • @toyota4life94 well then i hope you bie and the devil has his way with you

  • TOYOTA SUCKS SIMPLE AS THAT. My 88yr old grandpa had a 2005 Camry and he had it recalled because of the the reason of the gas pedal sticking

  • Bring the accelerator mechanism "BACK TO CABLE", at least a human will have full control of the pedal, and not from unreliable electronic sensor. Its a fact that electronic components fail in in due time, may have a factory defect, and some are intermittently failing and that's hard to detect.

  • most of the accidents was with camrys, that car is made in Usa and the accidents was in Usa, problem solved .......

  • main problem in my opinion is cruise control car computer connector

    i hope to all sftay drive

    good luck to all

  • Buy American you idiots!!!

  • And what about the 192 deaths directly related and covered up by Toyota to try and "hide" the problem. Hence all the CLASS ACTION lawsuits against them. Trust me this will all come out in time. Toyota CONTINUES to try and HIDE the problem!! I hope that someone in your family has this happen to them and then you will see!! LOOK AT THE MILLIONS OF COMPLAINTS that continue to go unsolved! I do not need calus words to get my point across the statistics and DEATHS speak for themselves!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @888shelly888 You don't need callous words to get your point across, yet you say "I hope that someone in your family has this happen to them". Then why did you use callous words?

    By the way, did you know that GM vehicles with electronic throttles have had more instances of unintended acceleration than Toyota vehicles?

    Did you know there is a site called Recall Owl that lists the top 15 most recalled vehicles, and NO Toyotas are on that list? Two are Honda, and the rest are US makes.

  • @888shelly888 - this is not just Toyots's prob. What if all this anti toyota feeling being pushed forward to put other car manufacturers out of the recession at Toyota's expense? What if all this is envy towards a Japanese company that took the US market with a storm, and now (with the recession and oil price hike) got the right opportunity to damage such company. Whatever...although all this anti Toyota feeling...look at the Toyota's market share today...May we all be safe on the roads

  • Look at one of these vehicles LIVE, with a stuck accelerator, only it's not a Toyota...it's a 2000 Cadillac DeVille DTS. 25 reported cases of the same condition on the NHTSA database. Cadillac service manager and service writers witnessed this condition, but GM will not help!

    Search for Unintended Acceleration Cadillac and watch my video.

  • Comment removed

  • they said all cars now use computer to accelerate? i dont think so because honda still use gas pedal to throttle body mechanism. and now i heard Toyota is making the brake pedal controlled by the computer?

  • @jhayem12 The brake pedal on Toyota isn't being controlled by the computer. Toyota is making it so applying the brake pedal sends a signal to the computer so the computer knows to cut the throttle. It's a fail safe and not the computer controlling the brakes.

  • hahahha my grandmas 93 accord still running like new lmao she never had a run away car fuck this technology i never had a run away problem with the 2jzgte ii did took off from places lol

  • Its not a big deal at all. if you cant stop a accelerating car... your kindof retarded... If i knew a car had a problem like this and i liked the car... i would buy it. Simply because its easy to shift your car into neutral. If its a manual car... clutch or neutral. Its sad how this problem only occurs in America because people dont understand what neutral even does.

  • Every car has a black box, this is also why charges from the federal gov. were dropped, i wonder why!?!

  • lol this is so bogus, if the car was maxxed out it would be doing about 115, prius's go way faster than 90MPH FAKE!!!!

  • i have a toyota avalon 06 and four times the floor matt stouck under the acceleration pad !!! it's really dangerous ! but remember to pot the gear in NORMAL (N) and press the break strongly to avoid accidant .

  • @fasrr11 N means Neutral, not Normal

  • Why not just put the car in NEUTAL....take it out of drive and the car will stop accelerating....let the motor blow up...your still alive!!!

  • about the only good to come of this is that you can get a used toyota for a bargain price today (if you are dumb enough to buy one)

  • TOYOTA IS FULL OF IT!!! I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA 4RUNNER v8, THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM....PROBLEMS WERE DOCUMENTED BEFORE THIS WAS EVER EVEN IN THE MEDIA!!! THEY CONTINUE TO DENY DENY DENY...AND PUT THE SAFTEY OF MY FAMILY IN DANGER EVERY SINGLE DAY......NEVER EVER WILL I BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN.......I HAVE ALMOST BEEN KILLED IN THIS CAR SEVERAL TIMES!! SHAME ON YOU TOYOTA...ADMIDT THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM AND QUIT KILLING PEOPLE EVERY DAY KNOWING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • TOYOTA, MERCEDES, BMW, HONDA, RENAULT, NISSAN, VOLKSWAGEN are the CARS.

    The Stuff American Cars, are UGLY, old mechanical, bad and Waste twice or more GAS.

    We want CARS not BASTARD AMERICAN CARS.

    Toyota make cars, and having bad marketing american wont have WE BUY UGLY AMERICAN CARS.

  • "Toyota - Moving forward."

    What a stupid and insensitive slogan and a slap in the face to those that gave their lives 'moving forward' even when they didn't plan to.

  • @MeOnYT How about "Have you driven a Ford latley?" Thats pretty insensitive to the people who have died in a Ford.

  • Should a bought a German car not Jap dirt

  • why its only american people had this problem???!!!

    shift it and put in neutral = N

    allow to free the transmission from the engine,..

    then use hand break,.

    trying to sell american cars,i meant crap,. no thank you,.

  • u get what u pay for .

  • Every time I hear that 9/11 call, when he shouts they are headed for the intersection makes my heart drop and my eyes close. These people would be alive today if we still used throttles, and not so many damn computers in cars these days.

    Not to mention Toyota's thrust for global expansion and general lack of concern for their customers.

  • @Roushfan5 Do you understand how many lives have been saved by electronic skid control? Clearly not! You should not comment on subjects you know nothing about.

  • @stopindecentvidremov You know what also saves people? Good driving, and not relying on a damn computer. Knocking you speed down to 60 instead of 100 saves lives. Not computers. Do you even know how a car works?

  • ISNT it funny that Toyotas Slogan is Keep moving forward!! hahaha

  • Japanese are the only people in the world who would refuse to admit their crime, in this event and in the second world war. Confession is not in their dictionary.

  • @eugenew0521 Has Ford admitted to their crimes? Search FORD FIRES. How about Chrysler? Search CHRYSLER SAFTEY. At least Toyota informs its customers when there is a recall.

  • @stopindecentvidremov "At least Toyota informs its customers when there is a recall"!! Are you kidding me?? Why do you think the Federal Government fined Toyota a record 16.4 million for not informing there customers and ignoring Federal law for NOT issuing recalls?? Toyota's supoenaed internal documents show that they have been hiding,lieing and covering up defects in there vehicles for years to the detriment of there customers! Damn! Pull your head out of your ass!

  • My heart goes out to the victims ----- one question bothers the hell out of me --- Toyotas are generally slow as crap --they don't shoot to any speed --- and why dont the keys shut the engine off ---or the tranny into neutral---One hundred or so horsepower is meaningless at 60 or 70 Mph.The brakes are much more powerful than the engine.---- its called inertia -- relative to mass.

  • how does this only happen in America?

  • how does this only happen in America?

  • They are not picking on Japaneese cars, for example honda,mazda not in same trouble as toyota. Simply put toyota was not being truthfull and toyota admitted it.

    While every car mfg has its issues, toyota has gone over the top with problems compounded by hiding problems. Who would want to support such activity?

  • Toyota has lots of problems including lexus issues, really not good cars to buy, toyota has been lying for years and made suckers of its customers

  • "A Toyota! Race fast, safe car. A Toyota" too bad that's just a palindrome!!!

  • end of the video shows just how simple it is to stop the car from accelerating. I feel for the families of the people who have died in these crashes, don't get me wrong but seriously if you can slip your car into neutral in a event like this you shouldn't be driving on the road.

  • @mtrcitymotown look how makes hell to customers watch?v=LJ23t3bURNo&feature=di­gest

  • Nowadays any company cares about themselves,money and not consumers. Its just a sad reality. R.I.P to this family.

  • @XOPINKTEAM these are real GM propoganda look watch?v=LJ23t3bURNo&feature=di­gest

  • Your a moron, Put the fuckin car in neutral and apply brakes, pull over and shut the car off so the MOTOR dont explode. and for the fuckin prius, i turn wrenches in a toyota shop, and WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKES GOING OVER 30MPH IN HYBRIDS, IT DISENGAGES THE ENGINE. AND IT RUNS OFF THE 650 VOLT ELECTRIC MOTOR. all you guys are fuckin morons, and yes apparently anyome can get a driver's licsence these days is fuckin right. idiots.

  • ok I want YOU to throw a car into neutral going 120 miles an hour, especially while you're trying to keep the car in control with one hand, and watching the road so that you don't run into anyone because you naturally going faster than anything on the road. Tell me how that works out.

  • @ShinsengumiGirl well, you shouldn't let the car get that fast.... you should put it in Neutral when you realize that your accelerating. and its a simple hand movement upward. its not a maze to get from D to N, its really simple. really really simple. how it works: watch the end of this video.

  • @ShinsengumiGirl omg have you ever heard of a standard shift you have to put it into neutral to shift gears and drive with one hand an i have gone faster then 120 an had to shift not a big deal

  • If you can't think of brake, neutral, and key off then you shouldn't be allowed to drive any sort of vehicle.  Apparently anyone can get a drivers license these days.

  • so tru exactly how i feel

  • Toyota Kills  DEAL With IT!!

  • Mazda's are rust buckets i had a mazda and i started to rust like crazy in only 2 years!!!

  • OH THATS WHY ALL TSBs are missing from the net!

  • FOR GOD SAKE< SHIFT NEUTRAL !!!!! is that so hard ?????? even officers are so stupid to tell em shift NEUTRAL ?

  • Hang in there Toyota. You are being attacked by corrupt UAW thugs. I will always drive Toyotas.

    I hope GM and Ford die a slow death

  • People have always pressed the accelerator thinking of the brake and panicked such that they could not ever figure it out. And when your next to a cliff side it becomes even more scary. The DMV handbook still does not suggest that YOU might mix up your left and right and thus must think "the other left".

  • Why don't CNN and Fox profile Krisiti Bradosky - she lied in front of 200 million Americans in 1986 about her Audi killing her son (and lost in court) - It would be fascinating to hear from someone who spoke to an entire nation and had them believe what she said only to be later completely contradicted - if you have time check out my latest video on the false complaints Kane submitted to Congress - I can't believe no news org checked them out. This guy is getting a free ride.

  • USA: A degenerated shitty country ridden by catholic pedophiles and full of cocky americunts who can't pin their own country on the map. Their offspring are reputably even worse, being selfish, arrogant, stupid, self-centered, hedonistic hotshots who hold the future of the country

  • What an shocking change for Toyota, nobody will ever want to have his generation of their cars. Even Lexus is involved!

  • Take a look at this indepth response from Carquestions: youtube  /watch?v=G3gQWGZ8uBw

  • Toyota is coming down, big time....

  • I know they have problems but non of the drivers never thought about put the vehicle in neutral an apply brakes.

  • lexusES350h, as an American, I would like to say that the next time someone tells you that this would never happen in an American car, please show them this video:

    /watch?v=3eGTqKn_ihc

  • read business week article by ed wallace called witch hunt for the unemotional FACTS.

  • Obviously Toyota is trying to hide a problem. Has anyone tried to shift to neutral during this lost control moments? I own an Estima 2006 and I can notice that the quality is not as good as the previous model. Quite obvious that newer models are meant to cut cost, not improvements of quality.

  • What other manufactures use CTS pedals in there cars?

  • يارجال أنا بعض المرات أرجع دواسه البنزين براس اصبعي الكبير وصلى الله وبارك ...يلعن ام الزحمه الي مسوينها ورب النعمه اني ما فكرت انها مشكله في تويوتا

    من جد غشمان

  • غشامه مايعرفون يتصرفون فرامل والقير على الفاضي nودهم يعيبون في تويوتا بس لن تفلحو

  • one time incidents involving old people at the wheel, BUT in TOYotas case THOUSANDS of cars wrecked and lying about it. japan is making new Kamikazees(toyota owners) enjoy ur deathtraps.

  • The Ford Pinto rules

  • My 98hp toyota prius engine over powered the breaks, yeah I believe that.

  • I think the Problem are Floor Mats!!!!!

    Most People buy a not Original Floor mat from Toyota or Lexus, maybe its to Expensive. And the People buys a other Floor mats and they makes the Problem with the Pedals!

  • Where is the common sense these days. If the gas fires up, just shift to neutral duh. No brainer.

  • most automatic transmissions now have more electronics in them than a car stereo. some of the new toyotas wont let you switch to neutral when the car is moving, even if you can move the stick, it is just a stick, not a mechanism and it won't engage neutral (electronically). turn off the engine and "enjoy" losing power steering and power brakes. In the lexus it was button ignition with key sensor (infrared). MAYBE if you hold button for 3 seconds it turns off. he didn't know it was rental !

  • japan another china too much fake

  • @mrabuckten - correct. Do they even teach this to drivers anymore? I had an old beater Pontiac with mechanical cable get stuck open years ago. I just shut off the car and held the emergency brake release while pressing on the emerg. brake. I lost most steering with the engine off, but was traveling straight, besides, I'd take my chances instead of flying out of control at 100+mpg

  • what is emergnecy brake? There is nothing in any car.

  • that last part was really helpful, I wonder if stick cars would have this poblem too??

  • @saywhatt87 - no they don't. Obviously, you don't know how a manual tranny works.

  • Yes. but not on neutral which is possible in auto also.

  • @mrabuckten actually thats a bad idea cuz then the steering wheel will lock, the best way is to put the car on neutral

  • @saywhatt87 - That isn't true. It will only turn all the way counterclockwise and lock the wheel when the car is in PARK. Try it in your car standing still.

  • japanese cars are still best in the world. a lot better than american cars. japan rules

  • @EatmyDust1311 - lol, obviously, youre a muscle car gearhead. American cars have light years to go to catch up to German and Japanese car engineering.

  • @GOPSpinMachineInOD no, im not a "muscle car gear head" ia am more of a car enthusiast, which is why i would never consider anything that has come out of japan in 15 years as something to consider buying. japan has sold its soul for reliability, and toyota made the lf-a and is now paying for it in spades

  • Then why do u tax 5 times for american cars in Japan? Protection..lol..

  • Toyota lies cover up, pay offs, shame on the government ours and theirs. Fools would only support this company.

  • OH What a feeling!

  • @LordPillsbury1959 chrysler belongs to fiat, not the government

  • D: THEY ALL DIED?!?!? D:

  • Bye Bye Toyota your quality sucks and my Camry is gone never again will I buy Toyota

  • All of this accussation is not true..why all of this complaints happen only in north america? They just want to destroy the image of number one automaker..CTS is a 100% american company who manufactured this gas pedals design by americans from indiana and u.s patent..Originala gas pedla used by toyota is Denso..We do all know that american auto industries are now in the side of the graveyard...I wil and still buy Toyota..

  • cts built a toyota designed pedal to toyota specs. cts also builds pedals for ford/nissan/honda, none of which have problems. cts has only been building pedals for toyota less than a year. toyotas UA problem goes back to early 00' models. lexus' all have denso sourced pedals, they arent on any recalls even though there several cases of lexus killing people with UA including much covered CHP officer and his family. you keep hugging them toyota nuts-natural selection will run its course.

  • We're all so concerned about Toyota's that are made here in the US while at the same time this administration ignores over 14 millions unsafe Gen3 Seatbelts in Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, Jeep from 1993-2004 where people have been "ejected" from their vehicles. Chrysler even witnessed crash test dummies being ejected but still used the design. Instead they were given billions in bailout money and helped to be "given" away to FIAT, an Italian company.

  • Wrong:

    Toyota designed the part. It was made to their specifications. CTS just built the thing.

  • It was a design problem, Japanese designed it. Stop bleeding for that Japanese company and think about your fellow Americans that have died.

  • Toyota has been covering this up for over 5 years now. All you Toyota lovers face it. They have a problem and dont care about you. Toyota WAS a very good car years ago but no more. Tail spin!! Toyota today = Big 3 of yesterday its a case of DDI deniye delay ignore

  • You are so right Steve, cound't agree more.

  • Last part of video helpful as I know now what to do in case something similar happens

  • Why is it that only Toyota is being attacked or criticized? What about Ford or the GOVERNMENT'S COMPANY GM? Are their cars all clear? without any kind of accidental problems???????Think about that!!!! When Toyota becomes number 1 in America, suddenly this kind of

    national movement that was triggered by the media occurrs!! I feel government's oppression.

  • the headlines says they have a 100 recalls in total in Japan.I'm VERY SURPRIESED why americans have to cry for toyota.includes the US government.bet they are either they want money or push japan to listen to them due to they never listen to what to do for the millitary base in okinawa what never leave.

    the stealing,having slaves is your culure.

  • Here comes the bias views towards Toyota. Did you know the media can make you hate or late anything? This is what it just done. It made people hate Toyota. I admit this clip made me hate Toyota, but think about it. Personally I don't know how the car gets faster and faster even if the foot is not on the gas. But I do know the feature that people want is stupid. The feature is if you brake and gas at the same time. The brake cancels the gas pedal, which is stupid. In my opinion.

  • Just like the media made people think American cars are crap.

  • That same media brought us Obama!

  • Yes it did.

  • Why someone will buy a Toyota or a Lexus, are expensive and ugly. And they will find any explication for the crushes, they are disperate not to lose the clients and advance tehnology cars suck!

  • Hyundai my next car....Toyota....I don't trust in ur cars any more...

  • hi korean

  • I dont thik no one trusts copied cars such as your favorite.

  • is the is 300 ok????

  • It would happen with any car . Calling 911 is useless

  • Just pop in neutrel then hit the breaks. Could have been prevented.

  • toyota has problem

  • Americans are so gullible with Toyota's explanation of floormat problems. It's all a coverup people!  Now Honda just recalled the Fit. These Japanese car makers brought shame.

  • watch?v=Sc6l4owbSEI&feature=re­lated

    This is a Hyundai case

  • watch?v=TPAOJ7YGKpY

    This is a Ford case of the same problem

  • Hit the break, shift the transmission to neutral.

    then cars will stop

  • I made a song about this. Please send it to anyone with a toyota for safety watch?v=HTfLm_Jj1uk

  • This has nothing to do with a Toyota vehicle but I was driving a 1963 Buick Special about 18 years ago and the accelerator stuck and was going about 30 miles an hour. I had no idea what to do. I put the car in park. I knew I just wanted to stop and I knew that putting it in park stopped the car instantly. Thank God I didn't ruin the transmission. I feel horrible for those families that lost loved ones.

  • Shame on Toyota and shame on ABC News. These reports should all start with what to do if the throttle sticks, not wait until the end of a 9 minute report. NEUTRAL will save lives. If your vehicle won't stop accelerating, push your shifter to neutral. Tell your Toyota driving friends.

  • Don't forget your Lexis and Pontiac vibe-driving friends

  • If CTS  pedal were install in BMW. You all guys gonna Blame Bmw and say oh they suck... Go buy american car. lol Itself CTS pedal screw up.

  • If _anyone_ hid the fact their "CTS" pedal was defective while people were dying, YES I would be upset with them.

  • BMW would never put a faulty pedal in their car because they actually test their vehicles before they unleash them on the public. No one forced Toyota to use CTS pedals. No one denied Toyota the right to test every car before it leaves the factory. Toyota chose not to practice diligent engineering.

    Furthermore, it is not proven that the pedal is the real problem. The Lexus ES350 that started this was built in Japan where they don't use these pedals.

  • yeah thats a great idea test drive every car before it goes to the dealership...... oh wait how do you think it gets loaded on a truck or train two guys pick it and move it......?

  • Comment removed

  • He said it best, "Toyota has a problem." My biggest problem with Toyota is why did they lie about the acceleration runaway issue and cover it up? Without the internet Toyota would still be covering it up. A major disgrace indeed.

  • This isn't Toyota's fault! It's some sort of invisible magnetic acceleration field! l.o.l.

  • Its the US toyota that is causeing problems. Don't drive it. Thats dangerous.

  • dont understand cut the car or truck off or put in N how hard!

  • It sucks that it took the death of a cop before anyone cared.

  • Don't blame Japanese Toyota company. Remember the car is made in usa. Not 100% pure japanese made car. it more like 50 jap./50 usa parts

  • Japanese company, Japanese design,Japanese profits, think about it, your not really that naive are you?

  • moron close down the plants in usa and see what happens to those towns!

  • Right. Then they can move back to detroit and get better paychecks, more holidays, better insurance and a pension plans. Oh yeah, did I mention respect.

  • The suspect parts are made by a U.S. supplier, but they are also found in its European-made vehicles, an official with the automaker said Wednesday. Toyota said it hasn't decided what to do there.

    Japan's Toyota Motor Corp. announced late Tuesday it would halt sales of some of its top-selling models to fix gas pedals that could stick and cause unintended acceleration. Last week, Toyota issued a recall for the same eight models affecting 2.3 million vehicles.

  • Also Denso units made in Japan are also experiencing similar problems. So...

  • 2008 TACOMA?

  • toyotas get mad driving slow in the freeway.. they wana go fast.. if you drive your car fast you will never have this problem.. ;)

  • toyota is nasty ''you put the wrong pedal in'' those are lies. i hate toyota. i hate poeple wo lie about that's not his fault but the victoms poeple fault.

  • Okay Ford pINTO-flame OUT-

    mY dad DIED IN A volkswagon

    i HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA! AND MINE is MADE U.S.A.

    Are THEY Crap? NO-but LYING about it IS CRAP-It is a Software /Computer Glitch-Electronics vulnerability. THE TOYOTA Manufacturers SHOULD step up to the PLATE and FIX the problem.

  • This happened in my '98 Cadillac STS. I threw the car into neutral and hit the brakes.

  • Buy American dont send your money over seas and shrink our economy at the same time. American cars are world class. Buy American!

  • Check the Toyota engine oil sludge video to see what other Toyota owners are experiencing. There are brake failure issues as well, particularly in the Prius. Is Toyota manipulating what information is out there?

  • Audi was said to have had the same problem in the 80's

  • Toyota has relied on an outdated perception that they are something special. Their dealers are cocky, their products are cheaply made but they have the audacity to charge almost 40 large for a loaded camry, 4runner or ANALON.....yay TRD read TURD for those of us who know.

  • you cant be bad mouthing toyota?...toyota does no wrong ..right?..i agree with you on that ...toyota is not so supirior as many ppl are led to believe ..maybe so in the 1980's , but that is old school-outdated thinking

  • toyota does not have a problem....toyota IS the problem ...get out of my country

  • RIGHT ON! You make a great deal of sense, oh American consumer of all things Chinese.
