Toyota: More than a Floor Mat Fuckup?

ABC News is reporting that Toyota may not have solved the problem of its runaway cars with the recent recall/floor mat zip tie fix. According to a federal safety official quoted in the story, the recall is not a remedy to the problem. The official also said there have been 200 serious injuries and 16 deaths that may be related to the mystery malfunction.
According to the news story, a faction of disgruntled Toyota owners who have experienced the runaway Toyota phenomenon, thinks the floor mat explanation the car company has forwarded is bullshit and are seeking answers.
If people weren't dying, we'd be tempted to say something funny, like maybe the mystery surge is God's way of cleansing the world of bad automotive design.
