If you can reproduce this condition so easily- you need to get this car on a flatbed and get it to the NHTSA immediately. Not to Toyota.
So an entire team of scientist and engineers can't reproduce this but you easily can in your Mom's Corolla?

I think we've already been over this, but they couldn't reproduce it because they only knew of two causes of UA that were only relative to simple errors. Toyota's case was very special because it had more than one cause, thus their report is essentially worthless; they even admitted this, which is why they asked independent panels to find other causes of UA that were relative to Toyota's case.
