Complaints of out of control acceleration increased several times over after moving to DbW and some recent complaints have noted that no floor mats were in the vehicle (which makes it hard to blame on floor mats):

Toyota is claiming it's not the DbW system, but they also thought they had this issue fixed a long time ago. It's a hard thing to prove unless you see it yourself (unlike a broken cable like we used to have before DbW).

Even Woz thinks is the DbW software:

Complaints of out of control acceleration increased after 2000. I guess it's the millennium bug. In other words: correlation is not causation. Moreover, no numbers are presented to actually support this correlation. What about 1996-1999? 100 cases would be totally plausible.

Even Woz thinks is the DbW software With the rather important difference that it doesn't actually cause any problems, because he can just brake and make the acceleration stop.
