From: Hachiroku on 23 Feb 2010 20:35 A woman testified before Congress that when her Toyota began accelerating uncontrollably she "put the car in neutral and it had no effect, I stepped on the brakes and it had no effect, I applied the emergency brake and it had no effect, I even tried to put the car into reverse and I couldn't." Huh? Putting the car in neutral had no effect? Someone provide with with a clue on this one. BTW< the car was a Lexus.

She forgot to mention that she was going down a steep 2 mile hill at the time, and drafting an 18 wheeler.
