    I hope someone's hooking up every instrument and datalogger
    they can get their hands on to Haggerty's old vehicle in an
    effort to find out what's really going on with it.

    Sadly, no. The Toyota dealership was advised to replace pretty much the whole accelerator and throttle system. The news reports did not tell us what happened to the old parts. Haggerty later reported the intermittent accelerations ceased.
