Nothing is up with Toyota. Driver error. NASA says so. Some old people should not be driving. The article even says that there is no mechanical failure.

What was the issue that was fixed? There was nothing wrong with the system to begin with.

"NHTSA officials say that sort of accident is relatively common – in a report released only last week, it said there are an average of 15 pedal misapplication accidents per month.

Women are behind in the wheel in two-thirds of those accidents, according to the findings, and NHTSA said they often occur in commercial parking lots.

"The most consistent finding across data sources was the striking over-representation of females in pedal-misapplication crashes, relative to their involvement in all types of crashes," the report said."

If you're curious about how common this topper of accident used to be, go look up why all cars have shift interlocks now.
