No, but I did see Brian Ross' expose' on ABC.

The two engineeers that will be testifying tomorrow under oath before a joint government commitee along with Toyota's USA president, duplicated a runaway Toyota Avalon with Brian Ross ABC reporter at the wheel. The car surged to 70 mph, and the brake did nothing to stop it. Only by having the presence of mind to put the car in neutral did the car stop.

The engineers sent Toyota this information last week, but never heard back from Toyota.

Toyota's in big trouble I'm afraid. They have been de-contenting their cars for many years, because they discovered that they were made so well, they were building them too well. I'm afraid most manufacturers may be guilty of de-contenting their cars too. The difference in this case is, that many people have lost their lives because of Toyota's action, non-actions.
