I think, the last you heard, she loves the Honda Accord that replaced
it. So far so good with it.

This isn't a fix, it's a band-aid.
Problem: the ECU is programmed for a failsafe mode that deactivates
the brakes.
Solution: reduce the likelihood of one of the events that would
cause it to enter the dangerous failsafe mode.
"As for the brake problem that afflicted Naumann's E270, Weber says
it was caused by vibration that allowed the wiring harness to work
loose, triggering a shutdown reaction from the engine's electronic
control unit.
The ECU then slipped into a special failure mode that deactivated
the SBC system. The recall fixes the harness more securely, and the
modification now is being applied to production cars, he says."

Sounds like my good wife's experience with her Toyota Avalon.
Step on the brake and it does not brake because the ABS has taken
over but the ABS is not braking because it does not sense any locked
up wheels.
It's OK, that is what those big bollards in front of the stores are
for. To stop cars (from driving through the nice glass).
It is amazing how much damage a bollard can do to a car that hits it
at low speed.
It was written off and we did not buy another Toyota. May never.
