Toyota has recalled many of its vehicles because of problems with the accelerators sticking - and are now having problems with the brakes on some of their Prius models. The New York Times article details the history of the problem and what they are going through to fix it.
Over the weekend, I had a problem with my accelerator sticking, and it was quite scary. This is not simply a problem of design, but also of safety. The design of something is extremely important - and it can mean life or death to people. It's good that Toyota is recalling and fixing these problems, but they shouldn't be an issue in the first place.
