Toyota cars had claimed 34 lives from this sudden acceleration problem since 2000. Driver cannot decelerate with merely stepping on the brake, but they had to pull the hand brake to slower the car and cut the engine.

so that people start buying GM and chrysler? They say 34 get killed in unintended acceleration. Where are the faces and stories of those 34 people? How come their list is not shown anywhere.

Then they say 34 died in the course of 10 years. Thats bull shut. They try to take the recall problems back to 2000.

If this is not a conspiracy explain why those 34 dead are not being revealed? Are they fictional characters or imaginary like WMD in iraq?
34 dead in 10 years is fishy because prior to 2002 toyota did not have computerized acceleration. Government and congress clearly exagerrating. Someone can get killed simply by speeding like teenager and they count him as unintended acceleration victim of 2000?

Runaway Toyota Prius in Westchester, New York hits stone wall.

The car has nearly 200k. Engine light is on for something emissions related. Any ideas?
Not my car, a friend of mine. He says it seems to run better when the ambient temperature is cool. Problem could have exisited for a while but never noticed it until this summer.

Somebody told me you can tell by the VIN whether your vehicle is involved in recall or not. Anybody know of a web site that verifies this??
