Any odds that the brakes did not function properly or the accelerator stuck? (seriously)

Right, because no Lexus (Lexii?) have been scrutinized in the Toyota accelerator debacle...

well actually it WAS a Lexus that had the first accelerator problem.. which was fatal.

But I Highly Doubt that's why it crashed.

1. because only US models had the accelerator problem to begin with and this car was not made in the US.

2. the "Accelerator" problem was also a carpet clip that would pop out and the carpet would get pushed over the gas pedal... and people are too stupid to pull it back or take it out.

but hey don't hold me to that.. I'm sure they will know soon.
