Loved Ones - Toyota

No, i am saying they do not do it for every model and it is based upon the typical repairs they see. For all the vehicles I have bought, they have been quite accurate in their predictions.

Where do their hard numbers come from?

One of the best pre-configured costs per mile I have seen for cars and SUV’s can be found here. Keep in mind when looking at the data, information from 2004 and 2005 was used.

The True Cost of Driving

my first question about the toyota accelerator problem is simple:
why didn't any of the drivers just kick the trans into neutral and let the motor blow?

I was referring to actual cost of repairs versus miles driven for each individual vehicle if this vehicle only frequented the shop in question for it's repairs.

No muss, no fuss, no estimating; just actual costs for each individual vehicle!

Real simple

They are in Cruise control maybe, it is not clear what the problem was, anyone with experience with a car would turn the key off , what a novelty. What people are saying is they panicked and did not know they could use brakes, put the trans in neutral, turn key off, I really do not want these people driving next to me, Maybe probably Toyota has a glitch in software but many people without driver training can't get out of this situation.

Maybe traffic conditions, location, time of day, weather, speed and the 'element of surprise' among others may have contributed.

Interesting how so many are just absolutely certain they would have reacted perfectly and avoided any problem and anyone who could not have just simply taken whatever action necessary mush have just been completly an idiot.

I'm getting all three of my Toyota products fixed tomorrow so my loved ones will once again be safe.

There are three fixes.
1. change carpet so floormat can't stick.
2. Replace a part in accelerator pedal.
3. Reprogram computer so brake cancels throttle.

Now I can't rev the engine with the brake on to burn rubber or use the brakes to create a posi-traction effect in the snow.

If one of them is a Corolla, you might as well have them fix the recall on the power steering which is coming soon...
