Bull. What's needed is a clear, unbiased look at the data. And I certainly don't trust the NHTSA to do that. Audi was hosed in the 80s for similar events, yet tests showed full application of the brakes would overcome full throttle acceleration input with a mechanical pedal. Despite assurances from the "drivers" that they were pressing on the brake pedal as hard as they could, this issue was bought hook, line, and sinker by the MSM. Car and Driver did a test, published in the March 2010 issue, that validates this principle - updated for drive-by-wire systems. Is Car and Driver a shill for Toyota? I don't think so, but I could be wrong. There are many possibilities, but floor mats are likely not one of them. Everybody wants to blame the evil corporations. Can there be an RFI cause? Possibly. I smell the Amercan Lottery - prove you're a victom and, Bingo, you're a winner!
