Unfortunately, this is just the type of incident I question and by looking at the repair, there is NO WAY this could be addressed by the Toyota fix. It just reduces friction and prevents sticking of the pedal AFTER it is depressed. If indeed they are accelerating on their own at stop lights, this fix does nothing.

There is a possibility, with drive by wire, this could happen, but again I am skeptical. I truely believe every accident with a Toyota for the last 3 years will be blamed on them.
