Audi knew about it 20 years before that!

Don't believe everything that you read. There have been about 15,000 of these incidents involving all makes of automobiles since 1990. Between

2003 and 2008, Ford has had over a thousand complaints of sudden acceleration in their vehicles. How is it possible that Toyota only knew of only six?

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....
