From: Ashton Crusher on 26 Nov 2009 13:54 After the news came out about the unintended acceleration problem that killed the cop and his family one of the ladies in my office said she was ruling out buying a Highlander as a result. She wants to get a bigger car for her family and was looking at Highlanders but not anymore. Frankly I was amazed that something like this would so quickly turn off a buyer.

And that's likely just the sort of thing Toyota is trying to prevent by jumping all over the issue the way they are. -- Tegger
