The cruise controls were DOA in all of my 240Ds, and my Euro 300TD doesn't even have it.
Story makes me wonder why some drivers that have experienced the 'accelerator of death' couldn't turn off the ignition or shift into neutral.
There was a footnote in a magazine-article about the lexus unintended acceleration, that claimed there was a delay of a few seconds between the time the electronic ignition-key was switched off and the time the engine actually shut off!

Happy Motoring, Mark
