Toyota press conference saying the driver of the Prius must have intentionally depressed the gas pedal to keep the car accelerating...how many times

have you taken your car into a mechanic and they could not get the car to make the same noise or act the same way for the reason you took it to them?

Me? Many, many, many times. "I'm sorry sir, but we can't find anything wrong. We can't get it to do that. It's not making any noise"

- Sometimes just getting into the car with driver and have them do exactly what they did will provide the answer. "My car is sluggish, no power" - CrankYanker Mar 15, 13:03
- Oh yeah, I saw that guy on the news. We laughed and laughed. - Dr.Vermin Mar 15, 13:02 1
  - When I saw him when the story first broke, nothing about him seemed genuine. But I'm cynical. -- nm - Diva Mar 15, 13:13
cars should have black boxes. -- nm - znufrii Mar 15, 12:57 1
- The Prius has an "event recorder" but it wasn't activated because there was no accident. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 15, 12:58
