The official who told people to stop driving the recalled cars came out and said he misspoke.

You can certainly think of it that way. Toyota has announced a fix plan for the sticking pedals so it’s not like they are just lollygagging around.

Possibly. I mean, like I said before, Toyota already found a way to fix the problem. So, for him to just come out after and tell people to avoid the cars is just pure stupidity. It’s even sadder when people actually listen.

The problem is that although the accelerator sticks, you can still have the car stop. Slip it into neutral, apply the ebrake and turn off the car. Slide it into reverse to stall out the engine. People just panic too easily.
