Yesterday Toyota recalled a few bazillion cars (including the Mrs. Moonie Mobile) because in rare cases the floor mats could come loose and cause the accelerator pedal to stick.

Here is audio of the 911 call that sparked the recall.

Does anyone but me see a problem with that call?

[Alex]

No, I'm not sure what problem you're noticing.

I was driving once when the throttle stuck fully open. Fortunately I was in the interstate at the time so there was no immediate need to stop or maneuver and traffic was loose enough that I could weave through it as necessary.

It was pretty damn scary before I got things under control.

How long did that take?

I think that rather than take the time to call 911 and talk with them, I would have put the car in neutral and stood on the breaks with both feet.

Even if the breaks were out, which they mentioned but I doubt, it would still get the car stopped a hell of a lot faster than calling 911.

In the old days, you could also just turn the key off, or jam it into 1st or reverse.

Apparently, and this is something I did not know, on cars like Mrs. Moonie's with the key-less push button start if you are moving and push the "power" button nothing happens. You have to hold it down for 3-seconds to have the engine turn off.
