It could be worse, imagine you need to get your unaffected motor booked in for a service to keep up your FSH - you got no chance with all them recalls !!!
Meanwhile are VW owners to start singing '3 wheels on your wagon'

Think I've solved the problem with the accelerator pedal getting stuck in my toyota
In a completely unrelated topic, my wife really liked the new car she got for her birthday:devil:

Just remembered my friends fiesta got the throttle stuck wide open on his first week of driving, even the mighty 1.3 in 5th was more than a match for the brakes. remember he paniced a bit at the time, if i knew as much about cars now as i did then i'd tell him to stamp on the accelerater repeatedly as it was physically stuck. stopped it though by turning off the engine with the key, wasn't too difficult from memory... though to turn a key while driving on a straight stretch of road phwoar the adrenaline of it all
OMG.
Quite worrying stuff!

There isn't a car on the market with an engine which can over-power the brakes.
Almost all of the 'accidents' caused by the fault on Toyotas have happened because someone too stupid to be allowed a licence has been behind the wheel.
That American woman.... claiming her car continued to accelerate even though she put it into reverse, ffs! - no, it didn't - you just don't know how to operate your car.
LOL reverse. Idiot

She started crying, so a lawsuit is now definitely justified
from what i understood she had an automatic, and putting it out of "drive"? or forward, whatever it's in for forwards travel and even moving the gearstick to reverse didn't stop the forwards movement of the car...

I have an automatic Toyota.
You can put it into neutral whilst on the move.
You can even put it into neutral and kill the engine with the 'Start/Stop' button whilst on the move.

I put a citroen auto in reverse while going foward....had mark of the steering wheel on my forehead for days
And you were there were you?
And funny enough she done ALL that but it still kept going! Obviously None of that is controled by an ECU that couldn't possibly malfunction could it.
PS NSFW with sound
Nice one,
but your average US pious owner wouldn't know what neutral means :bang:
