Before you guys say this is old news, it is not. There are claims that the misplace floor mats may not be the only problem with Toyota and Lexus when it comes to Sudden Acceleration. The report go on to say that some owners have claim when it happened to them, they look down at the accelarator and it was not stuck to the floor mat. Now all eyes are on the drive by wire ECU, since Toyota started using DBW in 2002, Sudden Acceleration incidents have since double or triple.
Experts recommands when Sudden Acceleration or a runaway situation happens, try to shift the car in neutral and do not shut off the car. Also, do not hit the brakes, it will cause it to over heat and render it useless. Although it did mention that there are a few German cars that when your tap the brakes, it will cut off the throttle, anyone know which German cars does that?
