I can't help noticing that the problem with runaway acceleration in Toyota cars affects drivers of automatic cars only. If my Toyota Echo started uncontrolled acceleration, I would just push in the clutch and move the gearshift into neutral: An entirely mechanical process under my complete control and the end of the problem. Another triumph for old-fashioned tried and true systems?

True that, but drivers of automatics can just push the thing into neutral too.
ReplyDeleteI guess people ain't too happy about the problem in the first place. The chairman/ceo of Toyota accepted responsibility i hear, something certain big shots in government could do a bit of too, from where i stand.
Good luck getting anyone in government to accept responsibility for anything other than the lunch orders, MK.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to drive a manual car.

ReplyDeleteThey tried that but it didn't work
