If it's not the carpet that's causing Toyatas to speed up, then how
can replacing the gas pedal help?

How many of you are still driving your Toyota?

Would you have thought to put the car in neutral if it's speeding up?


A good driver would slam it in neutral and be reaching for the parking
brake and be braking with regular brakes, a good driver would be
reaching for the key to shut off the engine, a good driver would also
not hesitate to use the Parking gear if all else failed. A good
driver would make all these decisions in about 5 seconds time. The
case where the guy called 911 because he was accelerating was crazy,
he was a lame-ass driver, what the hell is a phone operator supposed
to do? (The car was later T-boned in an intersection and all died I
think).

My Toyota is un-affected fortunately:

Yes I will continue to drive Toyotas, if it were on the recall list I
might consider using my spare car until I got to the dealer.
