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.

I am too, considering the Highlander is not one of the vehicles affected
by the problem.

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

In the end folks will remember the lengths that Toyota went to to fix
it more than the initial problem.
Something the domestics never learned.
