Ford should do the same.

I think they should just ban toyota's full stop. OK, maybe that's excessive but they should ban Camry's.

Maybe if that Toyota driver knew what that neutral selector did on his car, he may have been alive today. Of course his RPM's would probably be at his rev limiter for a few seconds before he stopped, but id rather that than die.

I suppose some auto drivers are clueless as to what it does. Most of them stop in drive with their foot on the brake at intersections, never really needing it.

Pffft I can't see this causing a problem. The last time I drove a Camry it was a 2008 model. I jumped in and put my foot straight to the floor. The damn thing moved so slowly I thought it was broken.

I've had my genuine ford floor mat do the same thing - i didn't die or anything but i still scared the crap out of me when i hit the brakes and the pedal wouldnt budge..

The Std ones I had in my Ute were the same, absolute pain in the ***, Came close to stalling a few times, coming up to the lights and oh, no clutch, quickly slide the mat back with my foot then try again.
