Didn't mean it like it was a conspiracy, I just mean that it seems like there is more important stuff in the news so it got pushed aside and was out of everyone's mind overnight without being properly resolved

Valve spring issues is what I've heard. Toyota say that certain Lexus engines may stall as a result.....
I pity the mechanics that have to correct this issue. What.... no.... on second thought these mechanics have excellent job security. In other new, I think i'm gonna get certified to work on Toyotas.

Apparently they knew about this problem 2 years ago and thought it was some microscopic particle, when really the problem was a design flaw haha fail.

They use the 3.5L motor across their product line. Why isn't cars such as the Highlander and RX350 recalled as well? I don't believe for a second that they get different manufacturers for their valve springs for different models utilizing the same engine

"The U.S. Department of Transportation has analyzed dozens of data recorders from Toyota Motor Corp. vehicles involved in accidents blamed on sudden acceleration and found that the throttles were wide open and the brakes weren't engaged at the time of the crash,"
It doesnt say how many throttles were wide open out of the "dozens" that they tested. If two throttles were open out of 3-4 dozen cars... that doesnt mean much.
And which cars did they pull the black boxes from? Probably ones that they already knew were driver error from other evidence.

Another thing the news "forgot" to mention that from 90% of the police reports from the deaths that they all had higher the legal limit blood alcohol level. im not defending toyota at all but it would be nice if the world gets the whole story...

i think the bigger question is.. do the black boxes record the inputs of the driver or the actions of the car? in a perfect world those two things would be the same, and an engineer would not need to distinguish between them. However, nothing is perfect. If the car does not acknowledge a drivers input, are we sure the black box would? or is it just measuring say the throttle position sensor values... something to think about. The brake thing.. eh i dunno, but who knows anything with these electronics anymore. Maybe the brake pedal input sensors fail to read at WOT.. who knows.

yep. The boxes prove nothing. If the car fails to register the driver input, it's still a failure by the car, it's just not recorded in the box. This is yet just another attempt by Toyota to try and clear their name.

Then WTF is the point of it? I thought I had read somewhere that only the japanese had access/software to read the boxes.
