I’m surprised at Manus’ statement. Firstly soda cans or lipsticks aren’t shipped with a new vehicle so they cannot be part of Toyota’s concern. Not all people are as car savy as we are so when the vehicle starts accelerating unintentionally it is a panic situation for them. They cannot think to simply put in Neutral and let the engine race..they panic. This guy paniced and himself as well as other were killed, this is very trajic.

This guy couldn’t shut his vehicle off, it was a push button start. If you could hear the panic in his voice from the 911 call I would like to think you’d change your opinion.

Thank you for the opinion Manus. Like I said, the recall is not official yet.

Silly, all floormats creep under the pedals, how about soda cans, lipstick etc etc . Actually I have a Tacoma, I did slowly creeped under my brake pedals, but I caught it prior for it from happening, I just threw it out and not have any floor mats at all. Who ever got in to an accident because of this, is a Moron, and I do not feel for him and he/she should be responsible for the people who died or killed,
