Bryce Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Officer Helps Stop Driver in TroubleLess than a year after Toyota's cruise control/floor mat/gas pedal debacle ends comes this guy. In an odd coincidence his cruise control, gear shifter, parking brake, brake pedal, and (seemingly) ignition stop working all at once. And neither the reporters nor the police raised any questions. Toyota (and the NHTSA) found no faults in fighting the first case but still had to pay out millions in damages in addition to recalling and modifying millions of cars in the second. What might Ford endure? Edited August 4, 2011 by Bryce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brant Gaede Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Why do you say that?These types of news stories come and go. This one has gone because the media have gotten all the juice out of it. Nearly 40 yrs ago it was exploding Pintos. Over 20, Alar and apples. Global warming has lost its balls, but it lasted since global cooling. "Climate change" has not the same cachet. Recycle has inertia, every fool is doing it.--Brantmedia exploitation and titillation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjw Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 So, he doesn't know how to turn off the ignition or step on the brakes? (And probably: how to operate the cruise control...)Shayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
