The issue of unintended acceleration is so clearly driver error, it is almost laughable. A throttle can stick, but for this problem to happen, the car has to SIMULTANEOUSLY suffer a failure of the braking system. Moreover, both failures had to disappear and not be reproduceable. Just like the scare of Audi 5000 cars in the 1980s (where the NHTSA finally conceded it was driver error, long after shows like 60 Minutes unfairly blamed Audi), this is hype and an excuse for driver error.
@3333glen You are correct. It's driver error when it ACTUALLY happens. The other times, it's called fraud--i.e., people looking for a lawsuit settlement.
people would ask why toyota recalled even its not mechanical issue, its because they had to do something just to calm the stupid americans down. People would not take floor mat answer to the problem.
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.
hmm, i like the good old sport bike, its got a, KILL SWITCH!magical right? I really wonder why cars don't have it, and neutral, no brainer , again, i like the good old bike, its still got the clutch...automatic sucks ;P
@Inuyashatg98 thats why theres a rev limiter, and your only doing it temporarily....not all the time unless your that guy that revs his engine all the time
So you can either POSSIBLY mess up your engine putting into neutral and let it bang the limiter, and save your life from a stuck throttle, or save your engine and die in a horrible crash.
Brake while with a stuck trhottle??!! Turn of the engine??!! Kill this guy !! This on the highway may cause some serious accidents!! Neutral is the ONLY option!!
only dumb arses not aware of the number of hours(years) a car passes in all kind of tests and benchmarks before being released to the market to be bought by rednecks can believe this sht lmao
@MREURONCAP yep i know how to drive. but i mean, with a manual transmition car, you can not have runaway acceleration, but of course your gas peddal can stuck too.
they've already proved it's in the programming in the computer. ford, chevy, and other manufacturers implement a fail safe so if the computer makes a ''blooper'' it has a fail safe which will close the throttle blade in the electronically controlled throttle body preventing it from keeping it open all the way.
I know on my 2010 Prius all I have to do to put my car in Neutral is just tap the lever to the left. That is it. The car will be in Neutral. How anyone can't figure this out is beyond me and probably shouldn't be driving. As far as the Brake Override system. I have tested it in my car and it works just fine. I think it is just common sense really. That is what owners manuals are for and just taking time to get to know your car.
see just fooling around i floored my 85' oldsmobile cutlass supreme, and what happened was my floormat that i put into it slid forward as i floored it, and had the peddal stuck. i kicked the floormat and slammed the break before i hit the bend 150 feet infront of me. 2nd time was when i thought it was because of the floor mat, it actually just happened today! the pedal legitimately got stuck. if my car stalls, the breaks are no longer powered, and the steering locks... stalled 2 times on be b4.
A floor mat caused the gas pedal to stick WOT on me in a '94 2.3/Auto Ranger once. Thank god it was a pinto motor, otherwise I wouldn't have had 5-seconds to figure it out.
Anyone who found the information on what to do in an emergency situation helpful, should not be driving at all. It's so fucking obvious. Driving tests the world over should be made ten times harder to weed out the imbeciles and prevent them from endangering the rest of us. Furthermore, a person should be given a maximum of three attempts to pass the test. If they don't succeed, they should never be allowed to control a vehicle. Would you travel with someone that passed on their 58th attempt?
Is anyone making a big deal abou Ford's MASSIVE recall on the Windstar that envolve craking/ splitting rear axels at any speed, and front control arms that are weak, NO. Stop hating on Toyota.
AWW WTF EVER BLKAM THE FLOOR MATS UR FUCKING THROTTLES ARE FUCKED JUST ADMIT UR COMPANY FUCKED UP and IF UR TO FUCKING DUMB TO PUT IT INTO NUTRAL U CANT GO NO WARE THROW INTO N AND U CANT GO NO WARE I SWEAR PPL ARE FUCKING DUMB
I cant watch this. Im doing it for research but my american car doesnt have these problems and doesnt put my life in danger like shitty ass toyotas. Toyotas are the reason our economy sucks and we are falling apart. Buy american or get the fuck out!
Home PCs usually run a flavor of Windows, Mac OS or Linux. These things run software written from scratch and are of a much higher quality than you'd expect.
One possible reason for this is that when you try coding something new on a PC you typically try the most basic and easy implementation to get the job done (since deployment time is a huge factor) while in these things the long term stability is of more value than deployment time and thus engineers are forced to write better code.
the runaway prius was fake. toyota had no more unintended exceleration than an other manufacturer. look how many chryslers were recaled. i think toyota was a whipping boy of sorts. the big 3 were failing. the US gave them billions and then had to badmouth the worlds biggest car company and one of the most popular ones in america to scare people away from toyota so they can get there money back and to make the goverment look like they knew what they were doing. to show the loans were a good idea
do you think thay would let you test a car that would fuck up in your review no i dont think so thay will do any thing to cover up there issue insted of just saying we messed up and we are going to make sure it never happens anymore
This whole thing is bullshit...lies...lies...nothing but lies by the US Government. congress needs to apologize to Toyota for tarnishing their flawless image and reputation. Toyota owners and dealers should sue the US government for such lies and accusations. I'm a Toyota owner and I am pretty fucking piss about these made up shit and drown in debt US government motor.
@iceman5815 Me too. Toyota lost many customers because of this, while toyota deserved to have even more. I own 2 starlets (1981, 1996) and 1 hilux(2010) and they never die and can go anywhere.
@bohemiachris NASA knows alot about Hydrogen engines, and space propulsion engines in general. They know next to nothing about internal combustion engines(listen to a NASA engineer talk about cars). Why they asked for NASAs help is beyond me, but regardless, there are to many of the vehicles to have a reliable answer.
@bohemiachris : Please: do not trust systems, or cars, or spaceships, do not trust the man!. I'm an Engineer, specialized in Telecoms, I know about engineering mistakes. I will NEVER buy a Toyota. NASA has the world's best engineers, yet they commit mistakes, do not trust your life to man. I would not jump on a bungee either. Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
@bohemiachris NASA, Hmmm, what do they do for a living? Last I heard, none of the A's stood for Auto(unless its a different NASA, which a former car salesmen has never heard of). The test would be impossible to say that there are no malfunctions, because the number of vehicles tested wouldn't be anywhere near enough to give a good representation of all of the cars sold. I've seen the accidents with my own eyes, and nearly lost family to them.
@orbitofdoom16 its a proven fact that nasa is run by people who are not as educated or as smart as the nasa of the past. i have a toyota myself and know of 10 others who do. we have never expereienced the excelleration problem or seen it. we havent got the "fix" either the dealerships are 2 hours away.
Hm, so basically, the people driving these cars are morons who can't keep a floormat where it belongs. Probably the same idiots who refuse to wear their seatbelts.
Argh...Learn to drive on 1990 fiat bis 126...Then you'll be prepared for stuck gas/clutch (yeah, if Prius had one...) and non-operative brakes...The joy of a failed steering linkage is priceless as well...Then one can drive any car, with any failure...So, don't let the "smarter" cars drive you. First learn and then practice in some safe place. (PS:I loved that fiat for 6 years btw)
NOT ALL ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WILL GIVE YOU TIME TO REACT!!. I know of cases of Toyotas smashed to garage walls because of pedal problem. Or smashing car ahead after green light. The Toyota problem deserve no forgiveness!!
Jezus.... People. This whole bullshit is caused by people not knowing ANYTHING about their car.... i think its consumer error and people having their head up their ass and not noticing their floor mat is a problem. People are so retarded in this country when it comes to cars and driving them... Then they go on the internet and dare to talk shit about a way superior country like Russia.... best drivers in the world. God what has this country become.
@getgankednub Your the dumbass. Its not the floor-mats, as any Toyota dealer would have told you(thats why they replaced parts to the throttle). The car shouldn't be malfunctioning, because all of the cars recalled were less than 2 years old, and most bought by or for teens, or the elderly, who don't have the reaction time, or the ability to think as fast as someone in their mid 20s through their mid 50s. Have you been to Russia? I wouldn't call a country which lives in mostly poverty superior .
Most new Toyota's that have this problem have brake assist anyways so when u push so far down on the pedal it will apply full braking force... i mean its common since that if the accelerator is stuck to put it in neutral
PEOPLE SAYIN UR ENGINE WILL BLOW IF U PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AN LET IT REV WHILE U SOP...UNLESS UR CAR IS ALREADY JUNK AND IS CLOSE 2 BLOWING UP U WONT HAVE THAT PROBLEM... IT TAKES A WHILE 4 CAR 2 BLOW UP
Regarding video title: Driver unawareness is a REAL problem. Even reading and watching videos cannot prepare you for an emergency situation. Practice emergency stops at low speed in a safe area, get familiar with your vehicle's controls and learn what you can and cannot do. All cars respond differently and have different control systems, familiarize yourself with the control system of every car before you drive it.
@emforty2 agree, now America and Australia and everywhere only land cruiser is in Japan...bank then they were way good even feel and driver better i have used old Hilux and now new ones are a jokes.
ok maby putting it into neutral is a good idea but what about ur engine revving so hard it could catch on fire or worse explode then u have another problem... u might be able to stop it but ur still on fire...
Ok all these people talking Sh*t about Toyota's are faggets, its so lame when you look at others brands and their recall isn't as highly publicize as Toyota, dude Chevy just had a recall with 2 of their top selling cars around the nation like 1 month after the Toyota recall, then Ford had one too fking lame... Ford and Chevy has the highest recall cars in fking history, u notice how domestic manufactuers wait till imports make a bad ass car then try to outbeat it? Imports take the first step...
if you put aside the whole toyota issue.....look at how many idiots accidentally hit the wrong pedal and go through a store or hit another car....there are plenty of them that are not toyotas....look it up on youtube or google....so many bad drivers
it's the driver's responsibility to make sure their floormats aren't close to the gas pedal and also when they check the computer after the crashes all of them have said the driver hit the gas and brake at the same time...once again driver error is the problem here not toyota
this whole deal was and is a hoax...it's happened before to other car companies...check out carquestions channel...by the way i have 2009 toyota and it's fine...there is no problem
@runnermonkey Toyota messed up when it went into the hands of american auto makers. Toyota was awesome till then. It's asking a white boy to make chinese food and him effin it up. Either way toyotas are still the most reliable.
By the way, The NHTSA probe will look at almost 3 million General Motors, Ford and Chrysler vehicles for hidden recall problems.
What you're saying doesn't quite make sense to me. Your comparison with a mobile phone is flawed. The reason your mobile phone loses reception can certainly be caused by interference, but that is because it relies on radio signals to communicate with the network. There are no radio signals used in the ECU of the car. What are these bubbles you're talking about? :)
"UNINTENDED acceleration"...this is what happens when engineers give all control (of machines) over to computers. Computers are great but like everything else, they're imperfect and are prone to have bugs. I HATE cars with Fly-By-Wire throttle. I'm bit of a car person and I know how to shift into neutral in an emergency, but I hate that I can't rev the engine from under the hood. Makes cars all unfiddle-able. What's next, FBW transmissions? Good luck shifting to neutral in an emergency then.
@ChuddleBuggy most cars have electronic fuel injection controlled by a computer. Many cars have automatic transmissions that are electronically controlled by the computer. Throttle cables can stretch, break, and aren't nearly as precise as electronic gas pedals.
@arnoldt14 No one's ever heard of an automatic transmission not shifting into neutral. Not shifting into gear maybe, but never not into neutral. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong but automatic transmisisons are not fully electronic. The trannys controller only controls the timing of the shifting between gears but moving the lever into neutral mechanically shuts off fluid pressure into the valve body. Regardless of an electronic malfunction, w/o pressure, no clutch band activation, neutral.
@ChuddleBuggy i know what you mean, but fbw did not cause the wreck. dumb ass drivers who cant think caused them. it's amazing how stupid people are. I had a pedal stick on a customers car about 10 yrs ago, i was able to react before the car hit the car behind me. he had those pedal covers and left the metal tabs out, i applied the break and the gas pedal hit the floor. i killed it quickly. I know what ya mean about not being able to rev from the throttle body though, pisses me off.

Its so funny how Goverment Motors can only sell cars by making up a bunch of bullshit about other companies. Why not, Goverment Motors has the media on their side. Id still rather drive a Toyota than watch my GM getting worked on every month. Oh how I love to drive by the Mr. Goodwrench service center in my 20 year old Toyota. Seeing all the 2010 cars and trucks being repaired.
@22reTOYOTA the fuck i could care less on what you jack off to when obama's talking just don't write to me. and while im at it i don't even cap his name fuck half the time i barely spell it right so don't try to talk bad about american cars when you have a crapy ass toyota rotten in your garage oh and another thing don't die in a tragic high speed acceleration car collision. not that im tryin to jinks you or anything but really i think that you needed to hear that. Thank You come again or not:(
@22reTOYOTA fuck u, u fucking gay ass faggot go get a life or end by getting in that ugly ass toyota truck thats just taking up space were we could have more german and american cars at ok now go fuck yourself
on Toyota's the stering does no lock until you remove the key so you can turn the engine off just don't remove the key! but if you need to do this YOUR PUSHING THE WRONG PEDDLE ASS HOLE !!!!!!!!!!!
@buck65100 gotta remember that if you turn off the engine you lose your power steering and possibly your power to your breaks. Thats the case with my mercury so listen well to what he is saying. No car locks up the steering when the key is in the position used to power your accessories.
@francis2323 your car will steer just fine with no power steering when moving , on your car if you turn the key back to far it will lock,easy to do in panic mode. there will be reserve vacume in brake booster good for about two pedel strokes.haveing said that, yes shifting to neutral is the best thing to do.My point was you cant lock the steering on a toyota buy turning the key back to far.
people are taking this too far. theyre trying to say that the car just randomly accelerates out of nowhere, so toyota is being blamed for having faulty drive by wire systems when in all reality, it is only the floormats
I'm not ever buying a Toyota. Why? Not because of this stuff, but because I was making a U turn at this really short light once and the other side got a green light, then this fucking Toyota truck comes out of nowhere and nearly hits me while I'm in the middle of the intersection. I had to stop in the middle of the intersection and some asshat in a different Toyota honks at me for stopping. I know that's biased and schtuff, but I don't care.
thats not really biased thats just half retarded....you wont ever buy a yota because of your close encounters with some dick heads on the road that owned a yota? So what were the next dick heads youve came across driving? at that point with that logic you wont ever be buying another car cause im sure you pissing off half the other drivers on the road isnt something new to you, and the fact that you had to post that lame story just explains alot about your personality
@mynameisdarthtater its just coincidental that those vehicles were toyotas. i don't think it be fair to bias your opinion on this fact, think perhaps those two cars were lamborghinis instead. would you hate lamborghinis? because i for one would not be able to hate such a fantastic vehicle
I look at it like this, IF you're too cheap to pay the extra $50 or so for all-weather mats, then you DESERVE anything that may happen to you and your car.
Back in world war two, they had Japanese pilots that would fly their fighter planes into warship... for honor and country to fight back the Americans... (Kamikazes) However, now I believe.... maybe Japanese are just not so good at stopping?
will i own a 1897 camry it did cause anything and 1990 it did not cause anything to and a 1994 camry did not do anything wrong with it and a 2000 tundra did not do anything to and i have a 1991 previa did not cause anything and it is a very save van and run good and About toyota is a save codtion then ford and GMC. The camry 1987 still work great and don't have any problem with it with the 1990,1994 camry and my family only buy Toyota only because is very in the winter too.
@noonxu13 Hate to break it to you, but GM is winning MORE safety awards than Toyota. Not only is GM winning more awards here in America but in Europe as well.
will i own a 1897 camry it did cause anything and 1990 it did not cause anything to and a 1994 camry did not do anything wrong with it and a 2000 tundra did not do anything to and i have a 1991 previa did not cause anything and it is a very save van and run good and About toyota is a save codtion then ford and GMC.

my toyota avalon's floor carpet on the drivers side drifted so much were it covered the gas pedal completely. Yet the carpet wasn't dense enough to hold it down it virtually did nothing to the gas pedal..
my friend has a military truck, he said the pedal got stuck at full throttle. I asked"What did you do?" He said "I reached down and pulled it back up.".....simple solution.
If you watch the original video of the idiot who claimed his Toyata was out of control you can hear the original 911 call and the lady says can you shift into neutral and he says no because he is holding the phone with his other hand. uhhhh, DUUUHHHHHHH!
@runamoktoo his car probably weighs 2000lb but he coulds be telling the truth. remember not everyone keeps thier car running well. I keep my old 93 ford crown vic to save fuel I can't afford to lose 1/8 or 1/4 of my milage over plugs wires and thermostats, fluids, filters and it makes the car fast and my foot light on the gaspedal. so he does not realize he did not beat the Monte but he beat the owner.
Some cars, when you floor it, have a slight time delay between when you push the pedal down and when the engine goes wide open throttle. This may have led to some of the overhyping of the problem. Some stupid woman drivers probably got angry at someone and angrily pushed the pedal down, not realizing they actually floored it, the .5 to 1 second delay occurs and then the engine starts roaring and they flip out about how its "unintended acceleration".
Toyota was just unlucky that some dumbass driver that didn't know what they were doing made their issues public. I've seen accelerators get stuck all the time in plenty of other car brands, like Honda and Pontiac, but that doesn't mean their cars suck either. Punch the pedal too far down and you can jam it or get it stuck with the floor mat, and if it happens to be a computer issue, you're just unlucky. What? You think just because it's made in a factory they won't make mistakes building it?
Cars used to come with floor mats that were not attached at all. They could migrate to the pedal if left unattended. This is nothing new. Sorry but if you floor mat catches the pedal pull it out of gear and pull over. You can remove a floor mat. This was made into a bigger deal than it is worth and Toyota has faced huge financial loses as part of it.
No, the throttle problem is not real. People are just plain stupid, and they refuse to think. For some reason, a majority of people don't understand what the N on the shifter means. It amazes me how people are allowed licenses so easily...
@TheKoreanX LOL! So true. Most people think that a car's only ability and purpose is to go forward and backward, but they have no idea what anything on the console is for, or what their car can and cannot do. If it can go offroad, what AWD, FWD, or RWD means. How fast it can go, what horsepower or torque is, how much it can tow, or it if it even can tow anything at all. They don't even know to give their cars a tune up every now and then. It's like ignorance is a popular trend these days.
Damn, first Toyota, now Chrysler ( or whatever ). My 95 Supra doesn't have any issues. What the hell is going on with these newer cars? I'll wait for the FT-86 and see if there's any issues.
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.
Shifting into neutral may not be the best solution for some automatic cars, since the driver may push the gear lever too far up and shift into reverse.
@conyo985 Hmmm, you should work on your reading skills, I said it might not work for SOME AUTOMATIC DRIVERS, not MYSELF. I drive a stick shift, and even if I do push the gear lever too far up, I won't shift into reverse.
@tubegangsta 98% of cars with automatic transmissions have safety interlocks, the button on the shifter (in a console shifter) must be pressed in order to engage reverse or any other gear besides D (drive) and N (neutral). I own a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire, and the console shifter will not allow a shift into reverse as long as the button is not pressed. A similar situation is present in column shifters (at least in GM models). You must pull the shifter forward in order to enter reverse.
@ArcticWolf2010 I push down the button to shift into neutral. There is the possibility of me pushing the gear lever too far up and forcing the car to go in reverse. Are you trying to say that the button is not required when changing to neutral?
@tubegangsta In every automatic vehicle I've driven, pressing the button is NOT required to shift into neutral, I can just bump the shifter with my palm and it will shift to neutral. Pressing the button is required to shift to reverse, park, 2nd or 1st. Maybe it's a GM thing...
The issue of unintended acceleration is so clearly driver error, it is almost laughable. A throttle can stick, but for this problem to happen, the car has to SIMULTANEOUSLY suffer a failure of the braking system. Moreover, both failures had to disappear and not be reproduceable. Just like the scare of Audi 5000 cars in the 1980s (where the NHTSA finally conceded it was driver error, long after shows like 60 Minutes unfairly blamed Audi), this is hype and an excuse for driver error.

Home PCs usually run a flavor of Windows, Mac OS or Linux. These things run software written from scratch and are of a much higher quality than you'd expect.
One possible reason for this is that when you try coding something new on a PC you typically try the most basic and easy implementation to get the job done (since deployment time is a huge factor) while in these things the long term stability is of more value than deployment time and thus engineers are forced to write better code.

Practice emergency stops at low speed in a safe area, get familiar with your vehicle's controls and learn what you can and cannot do.

What you're saying doesn't quite make sense to me. Your comparison with a mobile phone is flawed. The reason your mobile phone loses reception can certainly be caused by interference, but that is because it relies on radio signals to communicate with the network. There are no radio signals used in the ECU of the car. What are these bubbles you're talking about? :)

@arnoldt14 No one's ever heard of an automatic transmission not shifting into neutral. Not shifting into gear maybe, but never not into neutral. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong but automatic transmisisons are not fully electronic. The trannys controller only controls the timing of the shifting between gears but moving the lever into neutral mechanically shuts off fluid pressure into the valve body. Regardless of an electronic malfunction, w/o pressure, no clutch band activation, neutral.

Some cars, when you floor it, have a slight time delay between when you push the pedal down and when the engine goes wide open throttle. This may have led to some of the overhyping of the problem. Some stupid woman drivers probably got angry at someone and angrily pushed the pedal down, not realizing they actually floored it, the .5 to 1 second delay occurs and then the engine starts roaring and they flip out about how its "unintended acceleration".

Toyota was just unlucky that some dumbass driver that didn't know what they were doing made their issues public. I've seen accelerators get stuck all the time in plenty of other car brands, like Honda and Pontiac, but that doesn't mean their cars suck either. Punch the pedal too far down and you can jam it or get it stuck with the floor mat, and if it happens to be a computer issue, you're just unlucky. What? You think just because it's made in a factory they won't make mistakes building it?

Cars used to come with floor mats that were not attached at all. They could migrate to the pedal if left unattended. This is nothing new. Sorry but if you floor mat catches the pedal pull it out of gear and pull over. You can remove a floor mat. This was made into a bigger deal than it is worth and Toyota has faced huge financial loses as part of it.

tubegangsta 1 year ago
@tubegangsta 98% of cars with automatic transmissions have safety interlocks, the button on the shifter (in a console shifter) must be pressed in order to engage reverse or any other gear besides D (drive) and N (neutral). I own a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire, and the console shifter will not allow a shift into reverse as long as the button is not pressed. A similar situation is present in column shifters (at least in GM models). You must pull the shifter forward in order to enter reverse.

@ArcticWolf2010 I push down the button to shift into neutral. There is the possibility of me pushing the gear lever too far up and forcing the car to go in reverse. Are you trying to say that the button is not required when changing to neutral?

@tubegangsta In every automatic vehicle I've driven, pressing the button is NOT required to shift into neutral, I can just bump the shifter with my palm and it will shift to neutral. Pressing the button is required to shift to reverse, park, 2nd or 1st. Maybe it's a GM thing...
