I watched an interview with the pedal manufacturer that was part of a tv profile of the problem. According to him, there have been no more than 8 incidents of stuck pedals.
( I assume that he meant to say that he is only aware of 8 incidents.)
I've read of two incidents where it was not the pedal at all. Notably, there was that occasion where the guy managed to safely drive his car to the dealer by moving in and out of neutral. His pedal was not stuck and he had no floor mats to get in the way.
Funny how they didn't mention those incidents. I wonder how much of the tv profile was researched independently and how much was provided to them by Toyota in an attempt to moderate fears.
