Owners of Toyota Cars in Rebellion Over Accidents Caused by Sudden acceleration.
Owners of Toyota Cars in Rebellion Over Series of Accidents Caused by Sudden Acceleration


Anyone else been following this story? They had a pretty graphic show on nightline about it last night.


http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Runawa...ory?id=8980479

Refusing to accept the explanation of Toyota and the federal government, hundreds of Toyota owners are in rebellion after a series of accidents caused by what they call "runaway cars."

Department of Transportation: underlying defect causes accelerators to stick.

More PhotosSafety analysts found an estimated 2000 cases in which owners of Toyota cars including Camry, Prius and Lexus, reported that their cars surged without warning up to speeds of 100 miles per hour.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE OF THE RUNAWAY TOYOTAS STORY.

Toyota says the incidents are caused by floor mats becoming stuck under gas pedals, but owners say that's not what happened to them.

Watch the full report tonight on 'World News with Charles Gibson' and 'Nightline'.

"I'm absolutely certain that in my situation, it was not the floor mats," Elizabeth James told ABC News. She was driving her Toyota Prius outside Denver, CO when she says it suddenly shot up to 90 miles an hour, even though her foot was on the brake and not the gas pedal.

"I kept going faster and faster," James said. "And all of a sudden… my foot was pressing on the brake super, super hard and I wasn't slowing down."

James and some other Toyota owners suspect the accidents have been caused by some kind of glitch in the electronic computer system used in Toyotas that controls the throttle.

Your absolutely right. The first time WAS on Ford. Maybe my writing wasn't clear the first post. That was my point. Something that simple SHOULDN'T have happened. But it did.

They need to just get rid of throttle-by-wire, it sucks anyway. I'll never buy another vehicle that has it.

I've never had an issue with any of these cars.
Just to be fair....

I had a Pontiac Firebird that had the worst problems (everything from the radiator to the drive train) with only 31k miles

I had a Ford Tempo that had to have the radiator swapped out at 11k miles..the door handle came off 2 weeks after the radiator was fixed...and at 19k miles the power steering system went out

At the same time we had a Ford Taurus that had to have so many repairs that the dealership felt bad enough to trade out for a similar car ( 1 month later I traded it for my first Toyota)(mileage- 8k)

I had a Ford Conversion Van that did make it to 50k before the pwer steering and the electrical system started playing "hide and seek".

I had a Dodge Grand Caravan that had problems that I have elaborated on several times....and it never got the "new" worn off it.

But....

I have had 2 Toyota Camry's and one Tacoma truck since 1991 and have no problems with any one of them.

But since you say that, it sounds to me that the only turning you've ever done on a car is the gas cap cause apparently you've never turned wrenches.

Every Chrysler product I have owned is a POS....and never mind the fact that their Customer Service is rated poor and is even notated as one of the reasons for their failure.

Sounds to me like you just proved My point.

What from the post makes you say that. Couldn't come up with anything relevant to say? Have to try and resort to personal attacks? Try to stay on topic.

I'm just stating my personal experiences with vehicles like everyone else.

Might I add this little gem precluded any perceived "personal attack".

Reach in what sense? Just because the deaths happened in the 70's it makes it any less relevant?

We could talk about all kinds of other death traps..like Tempo's, Bronco's, and a few others.

No, it's not relevant, those cars were built back when the domestic automakers were still trying to figure out how to build a small car. It's not reflective of the vehicles being made today in any way.

Somebody needs to tell Toyota how great their cars are. They could use the boost right about now.

Seeing as how they've shut down in a heap of failure and all.

Unbelievable
