Thats the same shit I heard. What I read was when the car fucks up and goes WOT you cant do anything with it. It just freaks out. The only thing no one made mention of was if you slam on the brakes if it at least tries to slow it down. And it ony happens with the automatics from what I understand. Who knows. I say as long as Toyota wants to keep saying its the fuckin floormats they shouldnt be allowed to sell another one of these deathtraps.

exaclty. It the glitch is locking them out of doing anything but sit for a ride. This guys as asshole for posting the vid..and kinda funny that hes gotta wear a mask since he just might be wrong..maybe its a good thing..just going back to the thing with a state trooper not knowing how to slow a car down?? Kinda leads me to beleive that something happened that he could not turn off..a normal working computer is going to do what it does. But if it messes up then what? Can not turn the car off, cant stop it and can not put the car in any other gears.
I am all for electric cars..but leave all the saftey stuff to tried and true mechanical devices not electronic ones.

Yamaha has the same recall on their 2009 R6 and R1s. Throttle-By-Wire. Something in the housing where the cpu chip is can loose its seal letting water in and uh-oh wot on a streetbike. FUCKIN SCARY!!!

does this dumb mother fucker realize that the power button doesnt work, and the cars wont go into neutral because of computer problems. This guys dumber then he talks. Your car is working, thats why he can do what hes doing. Its just a 1 in 1000 thing thats happening to people that they can not simulate. I hope this guys on the news cuz he crashed his car into tree cause he was out of control....oh wait....you wont be able to tell cause hes to much of a twat to show his face.

I agree, if toyotas not going to solve this problem and also give the goverment a hard time with turning over data recording devices from the car, then they should just be banned from selling cars. Im not sure why anyone would buy a toyota after this....but I guess we'll let Darwinism take care of those people.
