U.S. to Probe Toyota Electronics in Sudden Acceleration
"WASHINGTON -- Federal auto safety regulators have renewed their
probes of electrical problems in Toyota cars and trucks that could lead to sudden acceleration, as part of a broader look at the automaker's two recalls of 5.6 million vehicles. Later Monday, Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak, who owns several Toyota Prius hybrids, challenged Toyota's conclusion that electronics were not a contributing factor. Wozniak, who spoke at a conference in San Francisco, said his 2010 Prius' accelerator "goes wild but only under certain conditions of cruise control. And I can repeat it over and over and over again safely." "This is software," Wozniak said, according to CNET, a popular electronics Web site. "It's not a bad accelerator pedal. It's very scary, but luckily for me I can hit the brakes." Full article at: http://www.freep.com/article/2010020...s-get-new-look |

Today I read Toyota says the problem doesnt exist on what has been sold since late last month, they reprogrammed the computer and that fixed it. So they knew, they know, they dont tell, they dont offer a fix or warning they wait until they will be forced to do something after more accidents. That does not inspire confidence any issue is properly addressed. If it wasnt for Apples founder being on Tv I wonder if this would have been overlooked as Toy seems to want. Maybe all these issues are computer related. Wozniak thinks its programming on his Prius, a guy that could have 100 Rolls Royces with chauffers, hasnt smashed his Toy up, is the best proof yet Toyota is playing games to save a buck. |
