» Toyota Examines ABC News Expert's "Unintended Acceleration", Refutes It
Mar 08, 2010 - 1:02 PM - by Administrator

With all of Toyota's self-induced woes as of late, the biggest problem the company has faced in recent months might just be a report by ABC News in which an expert (Professor David Gilbert of Southern Illinois University) produced an unintended acceleration using a Toyota product. Initially Toyota responded with concerns about the demonstration and now the automaker (and an independent engineering firm it has hired) has examined the process in more detail and have utterly refuted it.

In a statement Toyota has said that, "The analysis of Professor's Gilbert's demonstration establishes that he has reengineered and rewired the signals from the accelerator pedal. This rewired circuit is highly unlikely to occur naturally and can only be contrived in a laboratory. There is no evidence to suggest that this highly unlikely scenario has ever occurred in the real world. As shown in the Exponent and Toyota evaluations, with such artificial modifications, similar results can be obtained in other vehicles."

Toyota has sent the results of its finding to both Professor Gilbert and to the Congressional Committees assigned to look into the matter.

» Toyota to Provide "Black Box" Readers
Mar 03, 2010 - 7:29 PM - by The Pudge


Yoshimi Inaba, president and chief executive officer of Toyota Motor North America, Inc., prepares to testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, March 2, 2010, before the Senate Commerce Committee hearing on Toyota.

Toyota executives are telling Congress that the automaker will give U.S. safety regulators special Japanese electronic data readers that will enable them to read the "black boxes" from Toyotas involved in sudden acceleration accidents.

Yoshimi Inaba, the president of Toyota Motor North America, told the Senate Commerce Committee on Tuesday that the company would be delivering three data readers to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Wednesday. And he said the company hoped to make the data more accessible to other systems by the middle of 2011.

"This loss of trust is more costly than anything else," Inaba said.

The damage from that loss of trust was apparent in CBS News poll, which found that nearly half of those surveyed - 49 percent - believe the company is "hiding something," and nearly half say they are now "less likely" to buy a Toyota.

Other major automakers saw their sales surge in February, led by Ford up more than 40 percent, but Ford's own analysts say little of its gains came at Toyota's expense, reports CBS News Correspondent Anthony Mason.

"The business that is leaking from Toyota is pretty modest, and their customers right now I think are sitting on the sidelines," said George Pipas, a U.S. sales analyst for Ford.

Inaba also told the congressional panel that Toyota is also dispatching its engineers to the United States to train U.S. technicians on how to use the devices. Such "black box" recording devices are common safety features on modern automobiles. But the ones on Toyotas can be read only by Toyota technicians with specialized readers.

Toyota Motor Corp. faced more questions from Congress over its troubled safety record when top company officials testified at a Senate hearing on the automaker's huge worldwide recall of 8.5 million vehicles.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said his agency may recommend that every new vehicle sold in the U.S. be equipped... [Read More]
