If it were not so serious, it would be hilarious. I heard that Toyota finally paid a fine for “the” problem with their accelerators. I figured if they paid a fine, then it means the cause had been discovered, so I checked it out.
Apparently the cause was floor mat slippage. Every car with a gas pedal connected from the top can have that issue. In fact, I’ll bet Ford Fusions even could. ;)
I’m living in a bad “alternate universe” movie where everyone is a moron. I think I’ll name it “Idiocracy”.
So, get the better floor mats. End of story.
I mean, really. Freaking floor mats.
