I just can't believe that some of you are so dilutted to think that any manufacturer (I mean ANY) could get away with a large scale coverup like some of you are proposing. You are tlaking about them reflashing EVERY car that comes in for service, making up things like improving acceleration and what not. I mean come on people, sit back and lot at how retarded that makes you sound. If any of you who are claiming such a great conspiracy work anywhere near the car business you would know that is just not possible.

This is NOT a "car" problem. This is a "software" problem. The solution I suggested is completely plausible because I am in the "software business" and have personally seen these types of tricks played on software in various other consumer goods. You don't need to be in the car business to grasp this idea. To suggest that it sounds "retarded" just shows your complete ignorance of how things work.
Another scenario... they could just as easily do a recall to "add new software to protect you in a sudden acceleration event". They can require you to reflash the computer with this new firmware which contains "new safety features" or "improvements". It's quite common to issue software patches in the software industry that fix huge bugs and simply call it an "improvement" or a "feature". No cover up needed. Just get that "new" firmware ASAP to help you prevent this issue.
As for the rest of your post claiming no conspiracy of this magnitude will go unnoticed, there are PLENTY of conspiracies perpetrated by Toyotie that HAVE been uncovered (the rotting frame issue, etc.) but due to compliant media coverage and denial or apologists spreading misinformation there are FEW people who are aware of these issues. It doesn't NEED to be a "cover up" when everyone is making excuses for it to the general public and putting the blame on someone else or putting a 'spin" on it to maintain the perception of Toyotie Qwalitie(tm).
