Bad on Toyota.

This is an old article. That happened awhile back. This isnt new.

Also, that family that died. They were in a lexus, loaner car, and the second set of floormats caused the pedal to jam when he mashed on the gas. The driver proceeded to not turn off the car, but instead pump the brakes until the booster blew out of the car. Tragic? Yes. Toyotas fault. No.
It was the dealers fault for double stacking those floormats. That had nothing to do with unattended acceleration.
