You should look up more on this time.
The floor mats were blamed, but in at least a couple of these cases, it was found that the occupant claimed to have hit the brakes, but actually hit the accelerator.
There is also a staggering number of “two foot drivers” out there.
Incidentally, my sunfire also had the issue of the pedal getting stuck on the floor mat, and more than once I had to press in the clutch cause the pedal got stuck.
The focus on toyota those years always stood out as a hit job to me (and that was a time when I generally disliked Japanese cars cause I was young and impressionable).
- ajross 3y agoAgain, though, the evidence that you could get a Toyota accelerator to stick was clear and obvious and available via copious video on the internet. That part wasn't made up. You're saying that it may not have been the cause of an accident. Which may be true, but (1) isn't evidence that there wasn't a clear design flaw and (2) is also true of the Cybertruck, which hasn't had any reported mishaps at all. Yet to you the Toyota thing was a "hit job" where this isn't? It's 100% symmetric, so why the difference in interpretation? I mean, we know why. But "because Elon" makes for poor logic.
- wredue 3y agoAfter watching the video, it looks like a very serious design or QC issue, for a company widely known for QC issues. The mats were a hit job because most of the cases were not actually the mats, and one company was getting a hard focus for this issue when it was prevalent in many different brands. The cybertruck is not a hit job because this is just another in the laughing stock line of quality control and design issues from a company known for it.
