Toyota Dealers Verified Sudden Acceleration Problems in 2003
Toyota Motor Corp. knew of at least six sudden acceleration incidents
as early as 2003, including some that were verified by its own technicians and dealers, according to court documents filed Monday as part of sprawling litigation against the Japanese automaker. From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/2...#ixzz0vc4kTZuV |

There have been about 15,000 of these incidents involving all makes of automobiles since 1990. Between 2003 and 2008, Ford has had over a thousand complaints of sudden acceleration in their vehicles. How is it possible that Toyota only knew of only six? |

Hell, I had more than six sudden acceleration incidents on my VW bug back in the early seventies, before I finally just bit the bullet and replaced the throttle cable.... --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Sudden >DEceleration, perhaps, when the throttle cable broke... Point taken.... it was much better at sudden deceleration (when the rotor broke and the fuel line broke and... well, a lot of things broke). --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
