Yet the media is still hyping this way beyond a logical level it is getting pathetic, I guess Obama has not screwed up enough lately to report on anything else?

Regarding the part I bolded, the only problem is that just yesterday in his testimony before Congress, Toyota's US head said that the current recalls do not totally solve the unintended acceleration problem, and admitted that they're still not sure what the root cause is. I can understand why Toyota owners would be alarmed -- the guy basically came out and said "Uh, well to be honest, we're still not really sure what the problem is, and the fix we're putting in under the recall may not actually solve the problem."
