Considering the number of things that have only been found to cause cancer in rats in Cali when the rats were made to ingest the substance...

I doubt it.

i know there are more Toyotas in those states than others just because of the sheer number of people/cars, but it seems like you'd hear of one somewhere outside of lawsuitland.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

one would think.

In the hinterland here it could be a) we don't have the number of police on the road to save us or b) even if we are stuck at 90mph, there is nothing to run into.

It would be interesting though to know the distribution of cars, miles drive, and stupidity from coast to coast.  ;D

I guarantee the guy is a liar. I've delt with shitty idiotic customers, I've seen it before.

he was told the day before "your car is not involved in this recall, have a nice day" not words he wanted to hear, he wanted to hear "oh, its fixed now" or some other line of bull that made him happy.so he decided it was time to get back and show them there is something wrong with his car. what a great story to get back at them, day after they tell him its fixed it goes on the rampage.

he was on the brakes, just enough to keep from slowing down, those brakes will easily overcome that puny little turd of a engine and their washing machine motors.. that car should have stopped NO PROBLEM.

nope, he kept his foot on the gas, pegged, and foot dragging the brakes just enough to give the appearance of being stomped on, they will get hot, and they did and burned up.

I guarantee there is no problem with that car, I bet those brakes will stop a 400hp car, never mind that little shuttle pod.

Since those brakes actually recharge the battery, they tend to be stronger than normal brakes.

People keep posting why dont these drivers with run away toyotas hit the brakes ?

but it has been reported in the press and in Automotive journals and is widely discussed in the trade that after the wrecks were inspected the Brakes were found to be completely BURNED OUT !!!!!!!! thats why the cars could not stop!!!!!!!

Toyota today were founfd to have hidden rpoerts from their own engineers that the cars were dangerous in 2006  ...

Got a link? I've yet to see anything involving the brake wear on a suspect car. I would be curious to check it out.

I just saw a Prius while driving home for lunch.

It appeared to be operating just fine.

45 MPH in the fast lane?

Nah, it was stopped at a traffic light.

Apparently her accelerator did not get stuck
