The latest government research report finds no electric cause for the Toyota acceleration problem. The report pretty much supports Tegger's original thesis. I think he was the one and some others who diagnosed it as drivers mistakenly stepping on the gas when they meant to hit the brakes.
Add to the 1000s of bad drivers wishing to get a new car free with maybe a million $ extra for "pain and suffering" and an army of hungry lawyers and what do you get? Well, we've seen it.
