Are they going to be reprogramming the DBW system?
Sounds like another cop-out fix if you ask me... - X

Has this made the news yet? If it was GM it'd be a cover story on CNN.

There is nothing wrong with these cars. Just because someone stacks after market matts on top of the factory matts and they jamb under the gas petal how is that toyotas fault?

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that the matt solution was a quick fix attempt for Toyota to make it look like there wasn't a serious problem they are liable for. |

It has nothing to do with floormats or accelerator pedals. Something is wrong with the ECU that controls the throttle, and toyota is just too proud and too stubborn to admit it. The silver lining in all of this? Toyota wanted to be GM so badly that they're now doing exactly what old GM used to do - ignore their customers...and we all know what that road leads to. By the way, the damn floormats can barely even move...

Something tells me Yahoo won't be doing an article about Toyota trying to cover this one up.

I believe it's more of a case of not wanting to ADMIT there is a problem and be liable for the deaths, injuries, cost of full blown recall to fix the actual problem, and damaged reputation. I fully believe they know there is a problem and probably what it is. They'd rather just let to bodies stack up to "save face".
