Toyota Motor Corp. knew of at least six sudden acceleration incidents as early as 2003, including some that were verified by its own technicians and dealers, according to court documents filed Monday as part of sprawling litigation against the Japanese automaker.
From The Detroit News:
Audi knew about it 20 years before that!
Hell, I had more than six sudden acceleration incidents on my VW bug back in the early seventies, before I finally just bit the bullet and replaced the throttle cable....

Having owned several VW bugs, I don't know that 'sudden' and 'acceleration' can be used together in reference to them. Sudden DEceleration, perhaps, when the throttle cable broke...
Point taken.... it was much better at sudden deceleration (when the rotor broke and the fuel line broke and... well, a lot of things broke).
