My GF has a new Toyota Rav4. First off that is one suprisingly powerful mother fucker. 2nd has there been one documented incident of a throttle sticking? I heard on the radio that there wasn't a single case (or fatality). Seems like the gov is going after the competitors since they figured out how to beat tariffs.
There was a local man here driving a Toyota Avalon that is included on the recall list, before the recall. He blew through a stop sign with 3 people in his car the day after Christmas. He flipped and ended up upside down in a pond. All three people died.

The govt, police, and Toyota all came to try to figure out what happened but nothing was conclusive. They had previously moved the driver's side floor mat into the trunk after initial reports of sticking pedals, however that was only one problem. The man also had epilepsy, although he had not had a seizure in 30 years, according to his wife. So it could've been the throttle...but who know?
