really sad because people died but how stupid is this driver? and the passengers? and the cop? if youre too fast you hit the brakes. a test showed that normally you need ~35m from 100-0. At full throttle you just need ~40m from 100-0 because the brakes are multiple times stronger than the accelerator. or simply declutch/set on neutral. shutting the motor off wouldnt be good because then you loose your break magnifier. even worse: if you pull the keys you driving wheels locks. just hit the break.
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
you have to pull the e brake, and try to put the car in neutral,or try to turn the car off or something, that cop was a moron,didnt even say anything helpful to those people calling for help.
this is retarded...even if the floor mat was on the gas pedal, which is the driver's fault for not checking it before driving, hitting the brakes would still stop the car...it's not like the gas pedal is at wide open throttle
According to a report prepared by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, of the 58 cases of sudden unintended acceleration studied, 35 recorders showed that brakes were not applied, 14 cases involved partial braking, and one incident involved a case of pedal entrapment.
A floormat... I was expecting a defect within the motor.... The deaths may be tragic, but the drivers were just horrible. Have you heard of the story where the CHP officer told the driver to put the car on neutral?
I have noticed no news report mentions only the Toyotas built in North America are recalls. If your VIN begins with the letter J, it was built in Japan and has no recall.
By the way this har largely been blown off as a smear campain against Toyota now. None of these faults can be reptoduced. GM and Chrysler jumped on it and offered thousands of dollars discount to those that would denounce the false japanese prophet and return to the church of american steel in an attempt to claw back some desperately needed market shares. The media obviously jumps on anything without questioning it. Ofcourse the public blames the car whenever a Toyota crashes now days.
Mine took off on me a couple weeks ago. I did NOT forget which one was the gas or brake. I wrote a song about it...check out my channel (I'm not selling anything).
The media needs to talk to a toyota private investigator, not more of these people who want to sue toyota. out of all the cases of this reported incident, It was the driver of the car that was at fault not the car. People think they can sue that easily, they make computers specially designed to see if the car really did accelerate by itself or if the driver kept holding the gas. It's sad to here people are dying because people are trying to sue toyota by claiming this incident.
Why do we hear so much about Toyota when Honda has a more serious problem with their airbag. A defective airbag that has been linked to one death and 11 injuries in the United States over the past few years is still haunting Honda as the company today announced that it is adding 437,763 cars to its existing global safety recall over the airbag inflation problem
@NoPlaceForLoafers Well at least my 2010 Ford Fusion wont kill me & is in fact, an IIHS top Safety Pick. I bought American because every car, either Ford, Chevy, Olds, or Plymouth, was great, safe, reliable, & most importantly, can stop when I want it to stop
BTW, you sound like a Toyota supporter & driver. Thanks for stimulating the Japanese economy, redneck :P
I know people are making a big deal about this recall, saying this is why to buy a domestic... Seriously? Are you forgeting about the bankruptcy basically all domestics went through about a year ago for listening to their customers? What about that Ford Pinto lawsuit series in the 70s (car exploded on rear end impact)? They never did a recall, bc it was cheaper to pay the lawsuits! Seen Roger and Me? GM puts a town on the streets so they could export the plant to Mexico, ya lets buy from them.
@Fitz207 Thanks for calling my use of the pinto lawsuit pathetic for being so old. I did some research and discovered that this poor design has never been fixed, lawsuits continue to this day. Ford admits in court they have no plans to fix the exploding gas tanks in their cop cars and pickup trucks. The last lawsuit was 2008. 14 cops have been burned alive from this so far. By the way GM also suffered the same problem, but settled for a recall and ate 495 mill in damages. Thanks fitz207!
what retards lol why dont you turn the car off if the pedal gets stuck or atleast just put on the break rather than going up to 120mph lol instead they dial 911 and talk about it
HELLO? GM's 1.3 MILLION RECALL DUE TO STEERING ISSUES????!!!! i mean come one thos people died because they were fucking retarded the should of just turned it off or but the bitch in neutral geez
It's not the gas pedal, the main cause is the floor mats that you people put in these cars... And not just one floor mat, but multiple amounts of floor mats!!! And for what purpose do you need 4 to 5 different floor mats in one car at the same time!! IT'S JUST A FLOOR MAT!
the whole story is real but its the cause of the problem is wrong, its not the floormats, the problem is with material of the pedal, the part behind the pedal i mean, its causing friction with other parts(when in use) and after a prolonged period of use the friction increases- causing the pedal to stay down when pressed. you can actually get your foot behind the pedal to pull it up, but im guessing most people get too freaked out when their engine revs and picks up speed.
im sorry but the guy who called 911 and said our accelerator is stuck?? i mean wtf did he really not have the common sense to freaking put the car in neutral ????? i mean wow...
@blindrawing Right, the guy has all the time in the world to call 911 but he doesn't have the common sense to turn off the engine???? It's BS anti-Toyota propaganda.
The secound one wasFAKE. The guy lied, and Toyota, checked on the Computer (CAr Computer) They said, he pwas pushing the GAS and BRAKE at the same time.
@Dizmapler170 Not in this video... I mean't on the news. The First time it happend, it was true. The secound time it was fake, because an idiot didn't know how to drive.
when will toyota compensate owners for thier egr/oil sludge defect? why do people have too die before this company will stop blaming owners for toyotas defects
I'd still rather buy a toyota than any american car. Look at what the big three did to the tucker car. And Ford with the Pinto memo. Those were malicious acts, Toyota has just made an engineering mistake...
The Tucker Torpedo was a safe car in the 50s but the big three tried to prevent them from selling it because to compete with the safety of the tucker they would've had to spent billions into their own research
Ford compared the costs to modify the dangerous gas tank on the pinto to the costs of lawsuits from families of the people who would die because it and calculated that it would be more expensive to modify the tank
Those were caused by greed, theres a difference to toyota
The smartest way to move forward without killing your self its by not buying a toyota . I guess the japs forgot that the best way to make business its by not killing their customers with their products . They should rebadge the toyota camry , tundra , sienna and prius in to toyota kamikaze car , kamikaze truck , kamikaze family killer & eco kamikaze ...
or if with an automatic, put it in neutral, turn off the engine, and apply the breaks...shouldn't be too difficult...i reckon the average CANADIAN can do it, but it might be impossible for an average american...
0:48 is such a fake or idiot people, no matter if it is Toyota or Ferrari if you get the pedal stuck put N pull brakes and stop the engine, what a idiots
Sorry,i'm a 2010 Prius owner,from Italy. Is it possible that brakes are weacker than accelerator????? How can it be possible??? I'll test by myself if brakes doesn't work while accelerating...i can't believe all this.
Today, i Rhonda Smith, says Shame on me, Rhonda Smith, for sueing a reliable, efficient, family company like Toyota for quick cash and denting their reputation for safety. Please its not ALL my fault, 90% of the technical set up was orchestrated by Dr Gilbert.
@FuckFordGM funny, you and your little stereotype about america when you drunk bastards drink more than all the other countries combined, no wonder you can't think straight, and our cars last way longer than your plastic vw, and its funny how our $30,000 corvettes out-preform you lamborghinis, so just shut the fuck up
GM has the pontiac vibe also a toyota, Today car took off on me i was comming to a red light and a mother and her 2 kids where 5 feet away, i thoat i ran one of the kids, pulled the ebrake got the car to stop.
she called the cops I called the cops,
then i called GM and asked them what they wanted me to do? they said your car had the recall done already its safe to drive.
if i want the car towed it would have to be to your house, and you would have to pay for it.
Why would the US government want GM to go bust? You are truly a fuckin moron. Do you even know what the GM used to stand for? GOVERNMENT MOTORS. Yes, you stupid dick face. Now why would the Obama administration pull the cord on something that he has 80% shares in, since he took office?
@FuckFordGM --you are blogging on an American invention(youtube) from a country ,germany, which was stupidly spared after your dead forefathers tried to rape the world-then we rebuilt your worthless country--now, from your socialist confines, you spew --funny you mention "hairy monkeys" --you're women still don't shave their pits, do they? I guess I would also be pissed if my country got punked in one war after another and partitioned like a petting zoo! cheers klaus!
Ask any old timer out there this question: Have floor mats in cars always been loose and able to move around? Then ask: If you stack a carpet mat and a thick rubber mat together, might they interfere with the gas pedal? You'll get a "yes" to both answers, I'll bet. This accident was due to driver error, IMO. I never saw the little hooks that hold a mat in place in any car until this year. Sorry about the crash, but they did find two mats on the drivers side, didn't they?
Dortmundplss view sounds sensible. I am using a Ford van with a rubber mat under the seat. Sometimes both the gas pedal and the brake pedal get stuck by that. Yet, I dont condemn Ford. I know it is not the problem created by Ford.
@dortmundpls dude they've always had the hooks for the floor mats for a long time now. I used to work for a toyota dealership back in 2006 and my job was to deliver the vehicles to the customer at the pick up section when they first purchase the vehicles and I was the one to put the Drivers mat in place with the hooks and PPL already know thats how the mats go in the hooks
Ok, thanks, I didn't know that Toyota has had the hooks for a while. I'm talking about cars that I've driven, I guess. I rented a Chevy Malibu last year and it had no hooks, my 2005 Ford Explorer had none, my 1985 S10 Blazer had none, my wife's 1999 Dodge Caravan had none. That's my point, that there should have been accidents attributed to floor mats in those cars as well, if having a mat unsecured is so dangerous.
@dortmundpls yeah i know weird huh? "attack of the deadly toyota floor mats" Next they make u sign waiver fees with every purchase. and whats up with "FuckFordGM" guy?
Why isn't AP covering a real news story like Kane using False NHTSA complaints or Gilbert's contradiction caught on tape? - Do you guys always have to be the last to report the news? - No wonder people get their news from "new style sources" like YouTube -
The only reason the government is stepping in, is because they want Toyota to go under so GM can get back to selling more cars and become popular again.
thats true, america is hitting soo hard on toyota because they want american companys like ford gmc hummer etc . to rise up again , those companys were crushed after the economic crisis
Why is everyone hung up on who's fault it is?oh yea money... Well anyway I know exactly how to manipulate the issue to do some drifting and my 08 Tacoma 4x4 isn't even on the list. I know there's quite a few of you brothers and I would like to meet a few sisters out there that know exactly what I mean. Love my Tacoma!!!! I've owned every generation from 79 which is still my favorate with a s.b.c. let's keep the powerband on the d/L.
There is a possibility that YuNakim strips off a gold medal by a question of an Olympic charter violation. Please inquire of IOC a thing in detail. I have to handle accurately along a law to an unjust Korean method and go.
The Federal Government is hearing from some recalled Toyota owners who say the repairs didn't end there sudden acceleration problems! This company choose to lie,hide and buy influence in there malicious attempts to decieve there customers! And yet we have brain dead morons like liveitupalways05 who continue to defend the indefensible actions of this dying company!
If your Toyota is not drive by wire, or is drive by wire but the VIN starts with a J, you are not affected. Cars with a J at the beginning of the VIN have the Denso (JAPANESE BUILT) pedal assembly. If Toyota had not been forced to use inferior American-built parts by the NAFTA treaty, this recall would not have occurred.
i heard toyota equipped their paper shredders with the "sticky pedals" so they could run wide open on their own. a recent memo shows they saved millions over paying a person to do it.
Japancreatedtheworld, GM's recall is for a power steering defect that makes it harder to steer at speeds under 15mph, due to the power steering pump failing in older model Chevy Cobalts and Pontiac G5s (both are the same car). No deaths have been reported and only one injury. Way less frightening than unintended acceleration. Part of that 1.3mil number also includes cars in Canada and Australia, where Toyota's 3.8mil only includes US models.
Japancreatedtheworld(ya! right!): If you'll notice the G.M. recall is a VOLUNTARY recall which follows the letter of the law as administered by the N.H.S.T.A.! This law states that any safety defects must be reported to the N.H.S.T.A. Toyota choose to try and lie,hide and buy influence to deceive there customers! Are you happy with that??
@lander4545 Toyota contacted every one of their customers and disclosed the issue, which is a real minor issue by the way. Do you call that "deceiving their customers"? I know the crash that killed 4 people isn't minor but I blame that on Driver Error. If you press down hard enough on the brakes, regardless of how much gas you give, you will stop your vehicle. And how about turning off the ignition to kill the motor??? Really guys, this is just rideculous name calling.
@lander4545 They contacted everyone I know who has these cars, I have even seen their mailing operations where they send letters to everyone that's registered with them. Of course, if you are not registered or you have moved without telling them, then I guess they can't tell those people. C'mon now, be realistic here. This is a very small issue that has happened to every car manufacturer before. One of my cars had an accelerator cable that seized, but I'm not blaming GM for it.
@SirCatpaw The mailings where sent after they were pressured to do some by the N.H.S.T.A. Toyota lied and hid there sticking accelerator problems for years! If your cable seized on your G.M. vehicle that would be because of lack of proper maintenence by you. This is a part that needs periodic lubrication and is in your vehicles maintenence schedule manual.
@lander4545 Right, it was my responsibility to ensure my car is running as best as can be. It is also everyone's responsibility to ensure they don't allow anything to get stuck on the gas pedal. What ever Toyota did or did not do, I can not be certain of because it all comes from hear say, but I have personally seen thousands of letters being made to contact vehicle owners. Regardless of this witch hunt, people still understand Toyota make great cars.
@SirCatpaw Not all of these sudden accelerations in Toyota's are caused by a stuck floor mat under the pedal. It is known that there are flaws in the mechanical design and possible electronics of the accelerator pedals.The pedals were made by CTS corporation to Toyota's exact engineering specs. Toyota's have accelerated out of control with no floor mat involved due to either the mechanical or electronic design faults.The notion that Toyota makes"great cars" would also be considered "hear say"!
@lander4545 The reason it's "hear say" when it comes to "Toyota makes great cars" is because you often hear everyone say that. There's a reason everyone says this. I'm a mechanic and I've driven and fixed a lot of different cars. I won't say Toyota is the perfect car, infact if you want a perfect car then you better go back to sleep. But overall Toyota does make a "great car". If it was a real flaw, then every Toyota would be out of control, but that's not the case.
America is the BIGGEST exporter of whores and prostitutes in the world. They export FEDEX their nasty fuck ugly blonde hyenas to Nigeria, Somalia and the Middle East !!!
I know a poor woman who's been cursed by her new Toyota. Now the value's dropped like whale crap. The Toyoda dealer won't even give her anything for the Corolla pile of dung. So sad. "what goes around comes around"
German and Japan cars will ALWAYS be better, badder and slicker than disgusting FAT stupid Yank cars.
Foreign cars own these mutha fucker american shit metal. Guess being former Axises and tearing a shit hole in America really made Germany and Japan great automakers lol!
Look at Microsoft windows, it upgrades many times year by year.
Every country look at this big issue, they will very carefully to invest in USA.
Let US people "buy American", other countries do not do business with USA , it is not good news for them , but it is also not good news for USA. They got more benefit from doing business with other countries.
I do not trust USA. It is unfair game for other countries.
People are so fuckin dumb just slap it in nuetral and shut it off. Or just move the floor mat back a few inches. This happened to me and I didn't panick I just did what I explained above. I was racing someone. LOL
The Saylor family was killed because of the entrapment of accelerator panel with the over-sized mat for SG440 wrongly placed for the loaner car ES350 rendered to them by LEXUS dealer in El Cajun. This is the conclusion made and leased by NHTSA and SD police Feb 18.
The amazing fact is that no major newspapers reported this fact including NYT and WSJ. They are ones who are concealing the truth.
Should you have to worry about putting your car in neutral so as to not kill any innocent people? Are you that dense? What happens if it's kids crossing an intersection when this death car goes off? Will there be time to put the car in Neutral? Thanks but no thanks to the Japanese garbage, I'll continue to buy American products.
They did this to Audi 15 years ago. I really wouldn't attack the Japanese personally. ONLY 100 cars internationally have been involved in this (and they are focused on Toyota..NOT the Japanese). Millions of cars sold and only 100 incidents. Actually if you look up sudden acceleration from 20 years to know you will see EVERY manufacturer is represented. It almost ruined Audi 15 years ago and it was proved later that it was primarily driver error.
"Its 2600+ and counting, not even a single confirmed case?thanks for nothing" watch?v=49gj9OcJ-p0 the avalon owner takes his car to a dealership with the engine racing at WOT. a technician CONFIRMS the cars throttle is wide open. the technician confirms the floor mat is not interfering(there goes that excuse). the technician CONFIRMS the pedal moves freely(there goes the sticky pedal excuse). the technician CONFIRMS the car had to shut off to stop the engine from revving-youre welcome.
if this is the 2009 lexus, it has a smart key, and you push a button to start/stop the car, you can't stop it while driving.
I just learned today from reading online, that in a case like this you would have to push the start button down for 3 seconds, and this will shut the engine off.
no body told me this when i bought my car....how is anyone gonna know how to do that while driving on the freeway, there is some major miscommunication and negligence on the manufacturers part....
I'm no Toyota fan , (BMW Z3, YEAH!!) but I don't like how the media make us American drivers look dumb.
Why all these bashing about a stuck throttle? Isn't that why we have a neutral gear in the 1st place?
If a person doesn't know how to operate a machine in ALL possible emergency situations, why could he get a 'LICENSE' in the first place?
That piece of ID doesn't deserve the name of 'license' until drivers know how to deal with a cockpit on FIRE, just like plane pilots are all required to.
I dont care what anyone says, I had expriences with many toyotas some new, some I bought used, ALL experiences were excellent, best quality car there is out there.
Toyota and foreign engineering is just superior. Audi acceleration problem anyone? Pure Yank cock n bull story. Jealous dumb little cunts with brains smaller than their fuckin balls. Making up shit to destroy competition.
Toyota is superior to american shit metal and looks better doing it too!!
if you dont know how to stop a vehicle with a stuck throttle you shouldn't be behind the wheel!, the US media is jumping all over Toyota but is not telling the public the basic knowledge they should know to shift the damn car into neutral and brake, there your life is saved! no one died ,my grandmother knew this why dont you?.
This reminds me of the lady that won the lawsuit against McDonalds because she spilled the coffee on herself and didn't realize it would be hot.
It's the drivers responsibility to be sure the floor mat isn't resting on or interfering with the gas pedal when he/she starts the car. Toyota's only fault was not anticipating how dumb some drivers can be.
Remember when Kristi Bradosky said in 1986 on 60 minutes that the Audi accelerated and killed her son? Do you remember George Russell Weller when he said he stepped on the brakes of his 92 Buick while killing 10 people on a sidewalk in 2003?- both of these people stated at the time the car accelerated and they tried to stop - both were completely wrong - science showed them to be at fault not the car - so please do your homework ! Science will solve this Toyota mystery, stories won't.
When Japan was protecting Kay Retsu, the car which has no breakdowns could be made. It was a mistake that I entrusted an American with Toyota. Please arrange a hole under the United States by yourself.
Is it remembered? The cause of 520 people who died of JAL flight 123 was repairing error of Boeing. The correspondence of Boeing was too cruel then. The United States is slovenly in oneself and severe on an other country. This is an American method.
It's the quality of the American laborer that the brand of Toyota was injured. The American industry is rotted already. The United States is itself for not separating, and this is an American disease.
These reporters couldn't investigate a lost cat let alone a car. All these complaints are not being investigated thoroughly. Every one of these cars has an EDR that records what people do with the brakes and gas and all will lose if they sue - just like what happened to the people who sued Audi
I'm offering a reward of $1000 cdn dollars to the first person who can show me valid proof that a pedal from one of the recalled vehicles caused an accident. I believe Toyota won't blame customers since Audi did just that in 1986 and was proven right in the end but lost billions in market share as a result. Toyota doesn't want to share the same fate.
The freezing day in DC reminds me of Mr. Arland Williams Jr. who passed a life line to fellow passengers of QH90 repeatedly. The 13 years old Marian Fisher who asked the culprit to shoot her first to try to save her peers. The Touhys. who took in Michael Oher.They are a few of my heroes who displayed fairness and unconditional love to others When I see these attributes among Americans and if some say the foundation of America is justice and compassion, I believe in that without reservation.
Vincent Chin was a Chinese American beaten to death in June 1982 in Detroit by Chrysler plant superintendent Ronald Ebens, with the help of his stepson, Michael Nitz. Ebens instigated the incident by declaring, "It's because of you little motherfuckers that we're out of work," Chin tried to escape, but was held by Nitz while Ebens repeatedly bludgeoned Chin with a baseball bat.
Chin was struck at least four times with the bat, including blows to the head. As Chin slipped into a coma, he whispered to his friend "It's not fair." When rushed to Henry Ford Hospital, he was brain-dead and died after four days in a coma, on June 23, 1982. They served no jail time, were given three years probation, fined $3,000 and ordered to pay $780 in court costs.
In a response letter to protests from American Citizens for Justice, （Wayne County Circuit Judge）Kaufman said, "These weren't the kind of men you send to jail... You don't make the punishment fit the crime; you make the punishment fit the criminal."
I just wonder who would be the next victim of the injustice. I hear clearly some whisper, its not fair and am truly sorry for those true Americans out there.
The model became a focus of a major scandal when it was alleged that the car's design allowed its fuel tank to be easily damaged in the event of a rear-end collision which sometimes resulted in deadly fires and explosions. Ford allegedly was aware of this design flaw but refused to pay for a redesign.Instead, it was argued, Ford decided it would be cheaper to pay off possible lawsuits for resulting deaths.
Mother Jones magazine obtained the cost-benefit analysis that it said Ford had used to compare the cost of an $11 repair against the monetary value of a human life. The characterization of Ford's design decision as gross disregard for human lives in favor of profits led to significant lawsuits. While Ford was acquitted of criminal charges, it lost several million dollars and gained a reputation for manufacturing "the barbecue that seats four."
The 27 deaths attributed to Pinto fires is the same number of deaths attributed to a transmission problem in the Pinto, which resulted in 180 total deaths in all Ford vehicles, and in 1974 the NHTSA ruled that the Pinto had no "recallable" problem.
NO RECALLABLE PROBLEM, This was a disgrace in the history of American justice.
Toyota retains firm to analyze its drive-by-wire system - DetNews
Toyota said Saturday that it had retained Exponent, a respected engineering consulting firm, to conduct a comprehensive analysis of its vehicles equipped with electronic throttle control
Toyota said it delivered an interim report from Exponent dated Feb. 4 to members of Congress that stated that the firm was unable to induce incidents of unintended acceleration in Toyota and Lexus vehicles that it tested.
Despite a torrent of high-profile recalls that have tarnished Toyota's once stellar reputation, the automaker actually gets fewer customer complaints per car than the majority of its competitors
Toyota ranked 17th among the top 20 automakers in the overall number of complaints per vehicle sold. Toyota had fewer complaints than its American rivals. Ford was number 10 on the list, while General Motors came in at number 11.
That call sounded like a bunch of bs unless the people were stupid, if the accelerator really stuck why wouldn't the either put in the clutch or put the car in neutral? depending on the transmission) or even, TURN IT OFF
The problem only exists on North American built Toyotas ...always make sure when you buy a Toyota that the first digit of the VIN is a J (built in japan) to get true Toyota quality. Even North American Toyotas are way higher quality than any of the "domestics" (built with mostly parts from China and Mexico) . When Toyota has the smallest glitch the media jumps all over it and blows it out of proportion. If they did the same with GM Ford and Chrysler that would be a very thick newspaper.
the best way to stop a runaway toyota its by not buying one in the first place . wow ! , now for you to drive a toyota you need surviving training . i guess that the word toyota and the word quality can't be used on the same sentence anymore . and thats the same for the lexus and scion too...
Fucking Bullshit! I've gotten 100 different types of spam, junkmail & other assorted BS after purchasing my '10 prius.I'm still left to "fend for myself" in this whole recall situation. I HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED DIRECTLY FROM TOYOTA &/OR MY AAA SALESPERSON IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER! Don't believe Toyotas anti-hype. Their fucking bean counters dragged their feet far too long on the matter analyzing their bottom line. Toyotas to blame 4 stock price getting HAMMERED & their poor market value loss.
I had the same problem in a 1999 Toyota Camry with the recall about the breaks, but was most likely caused by software issues. The ABS would make the car grind it's breaks and the pedal would be on the floor, leaving me unable to stop. I would recommend people to check their cars that are not listed in the recall.
TOYOTA FOR EVER, I LOVE TOYOTA

really sad because people died but how stupid is this driver? and the passengers? and the cop? if youre too fast you hit the brakes. a test showed that normally you need ~35m from 100-0. At full throttle you just need ~40m from 100-0 because the brakes are multiple times stronger than the accelerator. or simply declutch/set on neutral. shutting the motor off wouldnt be good because then you loose your break magnifier. even worse: if you pull the keys you driving wheels locks. just hit the break.

I know people are making a big deal about this recall, saying this is why to buy a domestic... Seriously? Are you forgeting about the bankruptcy basically all domestics went through about a year ago for listening to their customers? What about that Ford Pinto lawsuit series in the 70s (car exploded on rear end impact)? They never did a recall, bc it was cheaper to pay the lawsuits! Seen Roger and Me? GM puts a town on the streets so they could export the plant to Mexico, ya lets buy from them.

@Fitz207 Thanks for calling my use of the pinto lawsuit pathetic for being so old. I did some research and discovered that this poor design has never been fixed, lawsuits continue to this day. Ford admits in court they have no plans to fix the exploding gas tanks in their cop cars and pickup trucks. The last lawsuit was 2008. 14 cops have been burned alive from this so far. By the way GM also suffered the same problem, but settled for a recall and ate 495 mill in damages. Thanks fitz207!

It's not the gas pedal, the main cause is the floor mats that you people put in these cars... And not just one floor mat, but multiple amounts of floor mats!!! And for what purpose do you need 4 to 5 different floor mats in one car at the same time!! IT'S JUST A FLOOR MAT!

KnudShuvd 1 year ago
the whole story is real but its the cause of the problem is wrong, its not the floormats, the problem is with material of the pedal, the part behind the pedal i mean, its causing friction with other parts(when in use) and after a prolonged period of use the friction increases- causing the pedal to stay down when pressed. you can actually get your foot behind the pedal to pull it up, but im guessing most people get too freaked out when their engine revs and picks up speed.

Ask any old timer out there this question: Have floor mats in cars always been loose and able to move around? Then ask: If you stack a carpet mat and a thick rubber mat together, might they interfere with the gas pedal? You'll get a "yes" to both answers, I'll bet. This accident was due to driver error, IMO. I never saw the little hooks that hold a mat in place in any car until this year. Sorry about the crash, but they did find two mats on the drivers side, didn't they?

Dortmundplss view sounds sensible. I am using a Ford van with a rubber mat under the seat. Sometimes both the gas pedal and the brake pedal get stuck by that. Yet, I dont condemn Ford. I know it is not the problem created by Ford.

@dortmundpls dude they've always had the hooks for the floor mats for a long time now. I used to work for a toyota dealership back in 2006 and my job was to deliver the vehicles to the customer at the pick up section when they first purchase the vehicles and I was the one to put the Drivers mat in place with the hooks and PPL already know thats how the mats go in the hooks

Ok, thanks, I didn't know that Toyota has had the hooks for a while. I'm talking about cars that I've driven, I guess. I rented a Chevy Malibu last year and it had no hooks, my 2005 Ford Explorer had none, my 1985 S10 Blazer had none, my wife's 1999 Dodge Caravan had none. That's my point, that there should have been accidents attributed to floor mats in those cars as well, if having a mat unsecured is so dangerous.

If your Toyota is not drive by wire, or is drive by wire but the VIN starts with a J, you are not affected. Cars with a J at the beginning of the VIN have the Denso (JAPANESE BUILT) pedal assembly.

Japancreatedtheworld 1 year ago
Japancreatedtheworld, GM's recall is for a power steering defect that makes it harder to steer at speeds under 15mph, due to the power steering pump failing in older model Chevy Cobalts and Pontiac G5s (both are the same car). No deaths have been reported and only one injury. Way less frightening than unintended acceleration. Part of that 1.3mil number also includes cars in Canada and Australia, where Toyota's 3.8mil only includes US models.

@SirCatpaw Not all of these sudden accelerations in Toyota's are caused by a stuck floor mat under the pedal. It is known that there are flaws in the mechanical design and possible electronics of the accelerator pedals.The pedals were made by CTS corporation to Toyota's exact engineering specs. Toyota's have accelerated out of control with no floor mat involved due to either the mechanical or electronic design faults.The notion that Toyota makes"great cars" would also be considered "hear say"!
lander4545 1 year ago
@lander4545 The reason it's "hear say" when it comes to "Toyota makes great cars" is because you often hear everyone say that. There's a reason everyone says this. I'm a mechanic and I've driven and fixed a lot of different cars. I won't say Toyota is the perfect car, infact if you want a perfect car then you better go back to sleep.

It's the quality of the American laborer that the brand of Toyota was injured. The American industry is rotted already. The United States is itself for not separating, and this is an American disease.

Is that why they are being recalled in Europe and Asia as well? I had no idea Americans built their Toyota's as well!

These reporters couldn't investigate a lost cat let alone a car. All these complaints are not being investigated thoroughly. Every one of these cars has an EDR that records what people do with the brakes and gas and all will lose if they sue - just like what happened to the people who sued Audi

I'm offering a reward of $1000 cdn dollars to the first person who can show me valid proof that a pedal from one of the recalled vehicles caused an accident. I believe Toyota won't blame customers since Audi did just that in 1986 and was proven right in the end but lost billions in market share as a result. Toyota doesn't want to share the same fate.

The freezing day in DC reminds me of Mr. Arland Williams Jr. who passed a life line to fellow passengers of QH90 repeatedly. The 13 years old Marian Fisher who asked the culprit to shoot her first to try to save her peers. The Touhys. who took in Michael Oher.They are a few of my heroes who displayed fairness and unconditional love to others When I see these attributes among Americans and if some say the foundation of America is justice and compassion, I believe in that without reservation.

Excerpt from Wiki Part 1
Vincent Chin was a Chinese American beaten to death in June 1982 in Detroit by Chrysler plant superintendent Ronald Ebens, with the help of his stepson, Michael Nitz. Ebens instigated the incident by declaring, "It's because of you little motherfuckers that we're out of work," Chin tried to escape, but was held by Nitz while Ebens repeatedly bludgeoned Chin with a baseball bat.

Chin was struck at least four times with the bat, including blows to the head. As Chin slipped into a coma, he whispered to his friend "It's not fair." When rushed to Henry Ford Hospital, he was brain-dead and died after four days in a coma, on June 23, 1982. They served no jail time, were given three years probation, fined $3,000 and ordered to pay $780 in court costs.

In a response letter to protests from American Citizens for Justice, （Wayne County Circuit Judge）Kaufman said, "These weren't the kind of men you send to jail... You don't make the punishment fit the crime; you make the punishment fit the criminal."
I just wonder who would be the next victim of the injustice. I hear clearly some whisper, its not fair and am truly sorry for those true Americans out there.

Excerpt from Wiki Part 1
The model became a focus of a major scandal when it was alleged that the car's design allowed its fuel tank to be easily damaged in the event of a rear-end collision which sometimes resulted in deadly fires and explosions. Ford allegedly was aware of this design flaw but refused to pay for a redesign.Instead, it was argued, Ford decided it would be cheaper to pay off possible lawsuits for resulting deaths.

Excerpt from Wiki Part 2
Mother Jones magazine obtained the cost-benefit analysis that it said Ford had used to compare the cost of an $11 repair against the monetary value of a human life. The characterization of Ford's design decision as gross disregard for human lives in favor of profits led to significant lawsuits. While Ford was acquitted of criminal charges, it lost several million dollars and gained a reputation for manufacturing "the barbecue that seats four."

The 27 deaths attributed to Pinto fires is the same number of deaths attributed to a transmission problem in the Pinto, which resulted in 180 total deaths in all Ford vehicles, and in 1974 the NHTSA ruled that the Pinto had no "recallable" problem.
NO RECALLABLE PROBLEM, This was a disgrace in the history of American justice.

Relatively few complain about Toyota- CNN
Despite a torrent of high-profile recalls that have tarnished Toyota's once stellar reputation, the automaker actually gets fewer customer complaints per car than the majority of its competitors
Toyota ranked 17th among the top 20 automakers in the overall number of complaints per vehicle sold. Toyota had fewer complaints than its American rivals. Ford was number 10 on the list, while General Motors came in at number 11.

That call sounded like a bunch of bs unless the people were stupid, if the accelerator really stuck why wouldn't the either put in the clutch or put the car in neutral? depending on the transmission) or even, TURN IT OFF

The problem only exists on North American built Toyotas ...always make sure when you buy a Toyota that the first digit of the VIN is a J (built in japan) to get true Toyota quality. Even North American Toyotas are way higher quality than any of the "domestics" (built with mostly parts from China and Mexico) . When Toyota has the smallest glitch the media jumps all over it and blows it out of proportion. If they did the same with GM Ford and Chrysler that would be a very thick newspaper.

Fucking Bullshit! I've gotten 100 different types of spam, junkmail & other assorted BS after purchasing my '10 prius.I'm still left to "fend for myself" in this whole recall situation. I HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED DIRECTLY FROM TOYOTA &/OR MY AAA SALESPERSON IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER! Don't believe Toyotas anti-hype. Their fucking bean counters dragged their feet far too long on the matter analyzing their bottom line. Toyotas to blame 4 stock price getting HAMMERED & their poor market value loss.

I had the same problem in a 1999 Toyota Camry with the recall about the breaks, but was most likely caused by software issues. The ABS would make the car grind it's breaks and the pedal would be on the floor, leaving me unable to stop. I would recommend people to check their cars that are not listed in the recall.
