Toyota Recall Reports coming in –
Driver Error?
The investigation is still under way, however, early findings are pointing at human error. Toyota is not finding any malfunction in the electronics to be blamed for the acceleration. In fact, in most cases it appears to have been the driver mistakenly pressing the gas instead of the brake pedal!
Now these are early and raw findings but in a statement from Toyota they conducted studies on over 4000 on site vehicle inspections and not a single one was found to have any problems with the electronic throttle controls.

Interesting study results to say the least! Should we feel more safe or less? Are you more comfortable with driver error or electronic malfunction to blame?
