"For Toyota...sadly... this is a defective part purchased from an American company that may stick given certain circumstances. Their pedals supplied by a Japanese company have no issue and are not part of the recall. Let's hope the shim does indeed fix this potential problem."

It's not the pedal...and that is what they want them to fess up to.

Keep watching the news....you may change your tone.

Drive by wire is the problem.... a combination of defective TPS(throttle positioning sensor), ECM(electronic control module) and throttle blade servo of the throttle body.

It's not just about vehicles failing at full throttle.....but to no throttle response at all.

I'm fine with what the media is doing. I feel the public should know what drive by wire is all about. Especially when they devise it to be a non logging event to protect their interests.
