Seen the latest toiletodor ad? Some gal who works from them talking about how their tests show " no evidence of sudden acceleration " caused by the electro-magnetic system." I have three children & put them in it with no worries ". Must not care much for the kids. Saw something maybe a week ago ( probably on wahoo ) about the recall supposedly connecting a brake kill switch FAILED. Showed some guy driving along stomp on the brakes & nothing happened, kept right on going.

hey pat,
my neighbor has a 09 camry and he has the sudden accelartion problem. its an ecm issue... i scanned his car and seen the ecm overrides it. the TPS senses throttle position.
the dealer has had his car for coming on 2 weeks and they still can't figure it out.

In my opinion, this is no different than what Ford went through a few years back with the Explorer and Firestone tires. Toyota has just learned that when you want to play with the big boys, you better be prepared to take a kick to the crotch when you're not expecting it.

Camera guy was in the back seat & the reporter was in the other front seat with him. He was one of AT LEAST 10 people who were still having the problem even after being " fixed " by the dealer. The svc. mgr. was ( of course, he was on camera ) " very concerned & working with toiletodor to try to fix the problem ".

Still haven't heard anything else from Wally World. Guess I could try going to the store & talking to the manager, but I don't think it's really something he can fix. Seems to me like it needs to come from H.Q. We've got people from all over ( Joisey, Mo., & Neb. for starters ) looking for those FORD jammies. Since corporate H.Q. is in Ark., maybe we need somebody from there to go to H.Q. & raise a fuss. Remember looking ( again ) last time I was in & still none. They had a bunch of NASCAR ones.
