The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) an operating agency within the Department of Transportation (DOT) with chief responsibility for ensuring automobile safety has received hundreds of consumer complaints about unintended acceleration in Toyotas going back at least to 2000
Reports of sudden Toyota acceleration problems have reportedly been lodged since 2009. Numerous deaths were pinned on the acceleration issue and the problem started to garner public notice. Some people theorized that the problem was caused by a defect in the vehicles’ electrical systems, although Toyota denied these assertions.
For around the last decade, Toyota vehicles have been plagued with concerns that the vehicles can start to accelerate unintentionally – leading to uncontrollable speeds and deadly collisions. One incident reportedly caused the death of several consumers.
We also learned that the NHTSA knew all along that the only problems were floor mats and sticky pedals, but they had to go ahead with the NASA study to convince members of Congress who believed electronics were the cause of sudden acceleration despite a total lack of evidence to support that belief.
The NHTSA took a positive step by objectively looking at the NASA data, concluding there was no evidence of electronics problems in Toyota vehicles, and shifting its focus to the important problems of distracted driving and pedal misapplication.
