I understand, however The government had NASA and the NTSB investigate Toyota, and there was no proof of electronic failure in the Toyota product for sudden acceleration. The floor mat was rectified and Toyota covered it. General motors on the other hand new about the defect in their ignition switches and continued producing them. THey caused 33 or more lives to be lost. Your failure is no more different than in the old days of having a fuel pump go bad while on the freeway...Remember one thing, Cars are mechanical and they do fail. Toyota has a long standing history of reliability.
Hey my Ford F150 has known bad fuel injectors which cause the same failure you have but Ford refuses to replace them all, instead will only replace them one at a time when they fail. Driving on the freeway is a potential for death anytime you have any failure, it could be a Blown tire which causes you to need to get over quickly....I again am happy you are safe, but your failure, other than being early for that component is normal. Your part of the country is harsher on cars than where I live and so timely maintenance and preventative maintenance is a must.
By the way lets see if the Government imposes a fine on General Motors, like they did to Toyota.
