While the mats are a problem - it is driver education that will fix this problem. I am shocked that a police officer couldn't get his car into neutral and stopped safely. They are supposed to be trained to drive at high speeds and cope with adverse conditions. Sorry they lost their lives but let's learn from their misfortune.

So what if the engine blows up at least there will be no power going to the wheels. I don't advise slamming the gear shift into park but this will also take it out of gear.

I REACHED VERY HIGH SPEED FROM A STOP WITHOUT ACCLERATING MYSELF. COULD NOT CONTROL CAR, UNTIL I HIT A CEMENT IRRIGATION CANAL WALL HEAD ON. PASSENGER SERIOUSLY INJURED. WHY IS MY CAR OR ANY SUV'S NOT BEING RECALLED FOR VERY SAME PROBLEM? I SAW TWO OTHERS ON NHSTB CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND HEARD OF ANOTHER ON NIGHTLINE. TOYOTA IS SWEEPING A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM UNDER THE MATS!!!! I HAVE PICTURES OF MY CAR AND TRACKS TO WHERE WE WERE DEPOSITED. I COULD NOT STOP MY 2006 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER BY BRAKING.
