Seems like this Toyota thing will not go away. It seems like you hear about another Toyota high speed runaway almost every day. It does appear that many were either frauds or caused by the "two foot" driving method where the little old lady has her right foot on the gas and the left foot on the brake and can't keep track of which one is being pushed. There other strange things about this whole problem that we should take a look at, so here goes.
Now if this is some kind of computer problem that might be caused by outside electrical noise, wouldn't you expect to see all kinds of malfunctions and not just the high speed run away? I don't think computers are all that smart in the first place. If something jams the program at some "random" place, you would think that the car would have other things going wrong too. The brakes are hooked to and controlled by the computer, but you don't hear people claiming that the car suddenly slammed on the brakes without the drivers foot being on the brake. Why not? You don't hear about the car going into neutral all of a sudden and the transmission is controlled by the computer too. The steering is controlled by the computer and you don't hear about the car suddenly deciding to do parallel parking do you? It is my feeling that the problem just might still be computer related, but I am very surprised that more unrelated computer problems are not also reported. How do the computer know to just fail in the "peddle to the metal mode"?
I told you that Toyota was going to give a a lot of material to Blog with. If you have an more ideas, post them.
