Granted the pedal should NEVER get stuck and it is deff a problem for Toyota, but if some of those people had just simple turned the car off they may still be alive. Do you know off the top off your head how to shut off a push start Camry while in motion? Just hitting the button won’t stop it. ---

Fair point. IDK, I read the title and the first thing that came to mind was turn the damn key. ---

IIRC it’s proximity(sp?) key. You don’t need it to be inserted into anything. ---

Alot of companies have gone to the FOB key and dont have actual ignition switches any more. All 2010 mazdas are like this…but i would think that if you hit the start button it should shutdown the ignition just like the old key used too. Remember some people get killed because of stupidity…there OWN stupidity. Cars aren’t safe and never will be, even with all the safety bullshit. ---

Vacuum boosters store vacuum in them when not in use, so just like you have full braking force for a few stops when the car is off you would have plenty of power to stop the car under WOT. Of course you would also just throw the car into neutral, you dont even need to hit the brakes to do that. ---

This is one of those thing where you could argue that advancement in tech, has hindered us. Just think if there was no automatic transmission, no push button starts, stuff like that. Granted theres much more safety equipment involved, but what if cars were only able to go, say 30mph max? ---

I’ve NEVER been impressed with a relatively new (80s and up) American economy car. I’ve worked on enough of them to say I’ll stick to Japanese if I want an economy car. ---
