I completely agree with your assertion that TKM should be upfront and offer a clear answer instead of ignoring or denying.
But if you ask me, TKM and Toyota may be laying low after the embarassment caused by the unintended acceleration issue.
I read somewhere it was traced to a faulty footmat fitment (without the hook as a result of which the mat slid under the A pedal) and not the ECU software program or accelerator pedal. I am not sure which part is true. Too many conflicting theories. I know how it ended though, with Toyota being crucified in the US and then doling out cash compensation to affected customers. Quote:
Second how do you explain this post from this thread where apparently a member got the said replacement done:

Is this replacement on the 9th or the 10th gen Corolla? Can't make out from the post.
As I said before, I plan to do the verification myself during the Diwali holidays by checking the seatbelt manufacturer. Will update this thread.
