Thats pretty ridiculous Sweet. What he did would cause any vehicle to do the same and doesn't help the drive by wire throttle problem in the least. Press sensationalism in it'* lowest form. Creating a problem and stating it is indeed another problem is BS.

Ya, I see Toyota'* being subpoenaed before Congress about the same as my propane guy knocking at the door after he fills my tank. At least I didn't take it up the azz. Toyota'* USA head better bring some Vaseline with his checkbook. It'* an election year for Congressmen and they all want to look like their actually doing their job

Im just going to point this out. GM got the same type of treatment when they were the number 1 car manufacturer. It comes with the territory!

Nice to see our congressmen and senators united on something. LOL

Caught a part of one woman’* tearful testimony about the car speeding out of control for 5 minutes. Turn off the car bitch; it stops pretty quickly after that. Some people should not be allowed to drive. If you cannot think fast in an emergency I don't want to see you on the road.
