Rules don't apply when you are defending yourself. You obviously had to purposefully search for this in your lame quest to intentionally start a fight. You aren't getting a fight from me. Let it go! Have a nice life.
All of the Major Car makers have had major recalls. My 2001 Ford Supercrew had the the cruise control switch that could catch fire, even when the vehicle was sitting without running. Also the fuel tank return pipe that could be flamable. My '99 GMC truck had COUNTLESS recalls and "service calls (quiet recalls) that were never fixed. I was a "DIEHARD" GM owner from childhood. We always had a GM car. Mostly Chevy wagons, then Pontiacs and Olds. There were always some kind of problems or issues with them, even being new.
The '99 GMC was the biggest POS I had ever purchased from GM. I fought the big fight to get GM to make this truck "right", they would not fix this thing. I traded it for a Ford Supercrew. Nice truck!! Then it had recalls too. I also had an automatic VW Rabbit in the early 80's that had the "Audi/VW unintended acceleration" It happened to me, once. Did the shift to nuetral and avoided an accident. (common sense)
I currently own a 2004 Tundra that has an electronic accelerator, not affected by the current issue.
I will still consider a Toyota for my future vehicles. Even the best vehicles expierence a glitch in their strive for perfection. Toyota will make it right without a fight.

I would call sudden acceleration more than a "glitch". Toyota was made to stop selling the affected vehicles. I also think that Toyota has no idea what is really wrong and is using the accelerator pedal excuse just like it did the floormat excuse. Of course there is no proof of this, just a feeling shared by many of us. With all due respect, I wouldn't call that "making it right without a fight."
Instead of all the slinging, do any of you have any reasonable thoughts on what someone should do w/a 3 mo. old 2010 Corolla that IS your car?
That is a very difficult question to answer. It would come down to my personal financial situation. If I could afford it, I would get rid of it ASAP. If I couldn't afford to do that, then I guess I'd just be stuck at the mercy of Toyota and be praying for my safety while driving it.
P.S. I am done slinging and advised the antagonist to stop such efforts. Thank God for the "BLOCK" feature.
