Toyota

[cjbcpa]

I think a set up is unlikely (unless you mean ABC). I do find it a shame that a reputation that was built upon years of reliable, well built (albeit dull vehicles) can be struck down so quickly. I suspect once the problem is truly sorted out and fixed, their reputation will get back to pre-incident levels.

IIRC, don't most of these cars have a drive by wire throttle? I suspect these issues can be chalked up to the exponential increase in automobile complexity, particularly electronics. So many electronic/software driven interfaces and components, sooner or later some glitch or conflict was bound to occur. I really can't stand all the automatic this and that nowadays. Maybe I'm turning into an old fogey, but whatever happened to windows and sunroofs with hand cranks? Even the Miata has power windows, sheesh.
