regarding the Toyota HOAX- they even had one moron who claimed his car would not stop accelerating and they had to have a cop car pull in front of him on the thruway and apply his brakes to stop the car.
Apparently he was too stupid to turn the key off. It would be a HUGE issue if turning the key off would not turn off the car.
And they later found (via the cars ‘black box’) that he was applying the accelerator himself.

What I found dishonest about the unintended acceleration hoax is that any car's brakes, unless they are damaged and inoperable, will overpower even full throttle acceleration--every time. The people with this alleged "problem" obviously panicked and didn't realize they were stomping the accelerator pedal to the floor and not the brake pedal.
