Toyota Recall True or False?

I was thinking about the huge recall on Toyota cars today. I watched a video from CNN about a man from San Diego, CA. Who said his 2008 Toyota Prius surged out of control for 20 minutes in sudden acceleration while police dispatched a patrol car to help him stop.

This man has become the face of Toyota's alleged runaway acceleration problem. The highly publicized incident in his Prius threatened to overshadow a push by the automaker to win back consumers after it briefly shut down sales of popular models in late January.

Could his story of the runaway Prius been faked? We know that this man is thought to have lied about his Toyota Prius going out of control. They did a test on the car to show why it was convinced there was no evidence of a flaw with the electronic systems used to control acceleration in its vehicles. Also proving that if your gas pedal was all the way down, and at the same time you were pressing on the break it would automatically kill the engine. Nothing seems to add up about his story. Did he do this because of money? Toyota seems to think so. This gentlemen does not however. He is sticking to his story all the way.

With all the recalls Toyota is having, It really makes me worried knowing that I own a Toyota as well. What if I'm driving and it decides to accelerate? I know they said to put the car in neutral but what if that doesn't work? Have they actually tested a car that went out of control and put it in neutral? How do you feel? Is there any Toyota car owners out there that feel the same way I do?
