Lack of cpu control over the brakes?

From the article:

When you apply the brakes it automatically cuts off the cruise control.
This is the 'switch' that's being referred to.
It's more of a pressure switch than anything....apply brakes, fluid pressure activates switch, switch shuts off cruise control.

How are you going to blame Mexico or foreign cars for this?

UAW=POS

And yes, my father-in-law is in the UAW....

Stuff happens. Toyota is having a huge recall for floor mats, and the design has actually resulted in a couple of deaths. What could be easier to design than a secured floor mat?

Ed_McCarron:
Wow.  What an epitaph.

"Floored by a floormat."

ChadTower:

I think that recall actually includes my truck.  I like my floormats!
