Mikepogie said: “I think for now what we can do on our part is to do a pre driving test car and check the accel pedal. Be alert and cautious (keep a safe distance and safe speed) while driving especially if a family member is riding with you.”
He continued: “Since drive by wire ang tech na gamit ng toyota, it’s even more dangerous kasi electronic component na ang nagco-control ng acceleration and there is no way for us to tell kung defective. Also, pwede rin naman na bumabalik ang pedal pero yung electrical signal coming from the pedal is still telling the engine to rev. Sobrang delikado... baka hindi lang car insurance ang magamit.”
