My sister-in-law has a Toyota Corolla. Several years ago, while driving other family members home from LAX airport, she had an "unintended acceleration" issue and nearly lost control of her car. She described the incident as horrific, and all of the passengers talked for days about her futile attempts to stop the car while swerving through LA traffic. The car was out of warranty, and she never reported the incident to Toyota. The problem never happened again – and she still owns the same car. I expect that many such prior unintended acceleration incidents have gone unreported... OR, even if reported, they may have been 'squashed' by Toyota before coming to the public's attention. Generally, these sorts of issues had been attributed to driver error.
