OK, if you say so. But if it is such a poor design then why don't the Toyota models in question have a higher incidence of unintended acceleration incidents as a percentage of vehicles on the road, than other vehicles?
But to be completely accurate I fixed it for you.

Seems pretty clear that they can't find any fault in the vehicle, are are just extending the previous floor mat/carpet recalls to the remaining Toyota models as part of closing the investigation.
