Toyota Recall - CBS, NBC, ABC, AP... statistics and their failure to find proof.

With thousands of jobs on the line and billions in market share you'd think a major news organization like CBS, NBC, ABC, AP, CNN etc. would be able to properly investigate a major consumer safety complaint. It's statistically likely that these companies actually own some of the recalled cars and if they don't, they're employees do and they're as close as the company parking lot! Seems they can't find one real example of a defective pedal and shoot some video of it. The pressure is on for one of them to find a defective car but lets hope when they do its not 1986 all over again where CBS filmed a rigged Audi 5000 and aired it on 60 Minutes. You've got to wonder where the proof is. If they can shoot the latest street fighting in Iran they should be able to get a couple of seconds of a defective Toyota. What's that famous phrase they always use in court? - "The public has a right to know" seems they forgot it in this case!

To activate the brake override you have to have the foot on the brake and the gas have the gas pressed to about 50% - just touching it lightly wont activate it

You can't check these complaints out - they atre not edited or checked for anything - you could make one up and put it in about your own car - the only thing you can find out is if there is a recall on the same car for the same issue - if there is you can then get documents detailing what it is about etc
