What can happen if you honk. Raged Neighbor.




Terror in our Toyota! Sure looks like the Electronic Throttle Control got stuck, huh? Another case of "UNINTENDED ACCELERATION?" My wife was only able to control the car with the PRNDL - 3 teenage girls in the car with her and just pulling into a neighbor's driveway to pick-up during carpool! This could happen to you! The car was totalled, the home has sever damage, and a car inside the home was totaled out and another damaged. Toyota's response: "...no evidence of any sort of manufacturing or design defect..." You look at this video and decide for yourself!

I showed this to a friend, the driver supposedly DID try to claim that in an attempt to sue the manufacturer , but the black box said otherwise, lol

Is it really that hard to hold the brakes and push it into P or even shut off the car?
