NHTSA, in the article above:

“ODI has not identified a vehicle-based defect that would have produced the alleged engine surge in the petitioner’s vehicle, nor was it able to witness such an event when road testing the petitioner’s vehicle.

Evaluation of a suspect throttle actuator removed from the petitioner’s vehicle did not reveal a component problem, warranty and parts sales of the actuator are unremarkable. These data do not support the existence of a wide-spread defect or ongoing concern."


Emotional appeals about anecdotal evidence are the tools of someone who is fanning the flames of a non-issue. If there were facts, they would be used. There aren't. Merely anecdotes. The fact that an accident that occurred included a tragic outcome doesn't say anything at all about the cause of the accident.
