Double Standard
Again, I don’t think there are double standards, the fact remain that the Lexus issue kill a number of people and the BMW's FP issue haven’t. However, I do see a double standard if we compare the BMW FP problem to the Audi coil pack problem from 10 years ago. Both problem cause the car to go into limp mode, but the Audi's problem get much more media exposure.
As far as HPFP failure in BMW, it is a far more common problem than Toyoyas acceleration problem, and far more dangerous as well. Is BMW going to wait until somebody gets killed in an accident before they address the issue?

I'm getting tired of beating the dead horse. The so called Lexus issue can happen to any car. Unfortunately the well publicized accident caused by this issue combined with lack of basic driving skills happened in a Lexus. Toyota did address it by recalling a lot of vehicles. Has any other manufacturer?

Did you know the driver of that Lexus ES with the sudden acceleration was a State Trooper, he probably had more driver's training than you and I both, so I don’t think he lacks basic driving skill. How is the BMW problem more dangerous when one issue slows the car down and the other one speed the car out of control at full throttle.
