I hope so. I just watched the story tonight on the news, they were explaining what to do when your car starts to accelerate on its own. Pretty bad...

In a letter to federal safety officials dated Thursday, Toyota said the problem appeared to be related to the potential build-up of condensation on sliding surfaces in the accelerator system that helps drivers push down or release the gas pedal.
Toyota spokesman John Hanson said the automaker does not yet have a solution to the latest problem but is working to develop one.

really.. is this technology really that far over these peoples heads? the mechanics of the pedal itself have only been being perfected for... ohhh, 125 years or so?

So with the toyota matrix & the pontiac vibe being the same car shouldn't the 09/10 vibes be recalled as well?

They're built in separate factories so possibly not.

The Matrix is assembled in Cambridge, Ontario while the Vibe is built exclusively in Freemont, California at the joint-owned NUMMI facility alongside the Tacoma pickup truck.
