You know what gripes me?  The use of the word 'glitch' to describe the
software problems in the Toyotas:

"Experts say a glitch in Toyota's "Electronic Throttle Control System" would
be much more expensive and problematic than faulty floor mats. " 

To my mind a glitch is a minor bug that doesn't affect the functionality of
a program - an annoyance, for which there is a convenient workaround until
the 'glitch' can be corrected.

This seems to be a mission critical software problem.  Not, IMO, a 'glitch'.
