Which is a lot more what it sounds like to me, though there appear to be legitimate literal-sticking claims too.  "Sudden acceleration" != pedal not letting off.<p>It's one of the reasons I'm really not comfortable with a full-blown drive-by-wire car.  My car's windshield wipers sometimes lose their wiping pattern, and skip a beat or delay by a second or so.  If something THAT simple can't be made foolproof, why would I trust my brake pedal to always work when each tire is controlled independently to make me stop faster?  Give me a hybrid system any day, though.
