James Sikes has become the grappling of Toyota's alleged runaway acceleration problem and Toyota can't figure out why.

According to report by the AP, Toyota says all Priuses are equipped with a computer system that cuts power to the wheels if the brake and gas pedals are depressed at the same time – something Sikes says he was doing.

"It's tough for us to say if we're skeptical. I'm mystified in how it could happen with the brake override system," Don Esmond, senior vice president of automotive operations for Toyota Motor Sales, said.

You're not alone Don.
