what?!?!

I can't believe it!!!! Toyotas are screwing up!?!? So evidentally, Toyotas are having a problem with their accelerator getting stuck. People have been driving along, and all of a sudden the accelerator gets stuck and accelerates. Yikes!!! There was a car full of people driving down the highway and headed to an intersection and they couldn't slow down the car going 100mph. They all ended up dying. I have always thought Toyotas are the greatest car since the inception of cars, but this is proving my theory wrong. I know, all makes and models have their faults, but this is strange. One of our friends got his floor mats recalled. They think that is the problem, the heavy rubber mat a lot of people have been buying. I have them. They are great for winter weather/rain. Anyway, here's what you do in an emergency...

Put the car in Neutral. If that doesn't work, stomp on the brake (don't tap). If that doesn't work, pull the emergency brake.

This is really uncharacteristic for Toyota. Maybe there is a bigger problem. Many of the people who have had this happen say they don't have the rubber mats, but Toyota won't acknowledge anything other than the mats.
