I thought the last report was that the vast majority of the "spontaneous" acceleration problems was user error fueled by overblown media reporting. Typical accidental smashing the gas pedal in a panic instead of the brake.

From what I gather there is no ECM "taking control" issue - there was a floor mat problem and a sticking accelorator problem. And they are recalled - and the occurence was lower than the hysteria indicated.

But I guess the DOT and NHTSA could be in on the big foreign automaker supremacy conspiracy.
