Unlike the Toyota, the Audi was an ergonomic issue with the location and size 
of the brake pedal.  The sudden acceleration was found to be drivers pressing 
hartd on the accelerator when they thought they were pressing the brake pedal.

Several others as well.

The Toyota case became notable for the same reason the Audi case became 
notable. They started off by denying it was happening at all, then tried 
to blame it all on driver error, and were eventually forced into a 
recall to fix the problem.

Never would have become a problem if Toyota had been proactive, but 
somewhere along the way to getting bigger than GM, they started acting 
like GM.

In Toyota's case there's also the lingering question of whether the fix 
actually fixed it?"
