Toyota Gas Pedals, Safety Officials and Victims

[VIVIEN2005]

I thought the victims' last name was Lastrella, not Pestrella.

Since the early 2000's, Toyota quality was really gone down the toilet. I know that for a fact, I have been a passenger in many Toyota vehicles. I am trying to warn many of my fellow friends, seeing as all the taxi's where I live are Toyota Camry Hybrid's or Corolla's, which were recalled. Sorry for Fe's loss.

I have never been a fan of toyota, honda or nissan. Toyota has shown no compassion toward its customers on this issue and have tried every back handed way to weasel out of fixing this problems. I know they were cleared of electronic problems but it seems thats because their computers arent showing the problem. There is a problem they just cant figure it out and dont really care. I have no interst in their cars and will not ride in one!

@Graciedog I don't understand you guys. If it is not an electronic issue, then there is not much to figure out. But, unintended acceleration incidents have not disappeared after Toyota's recall. So, why your Govt does not ban Toyota and Lexus cars from US or even start a new probe against them? Why journalists does not deal with the subject? Is it because they think that Toyota is not a threat for detroit makers anymore? The whole story smells like a deliberate fraud against Toyota.

Thank you Joan (Former highway administrator), Government has a revolving door relationship with corporate businesses. For this matter, many of the issues brought up by the public are ignored, overlooked, and swept away under the rug. Like all issues, special interests should not be mixed with conflict of interests. If a government official has ties to an organization, they should be discouraged from participating in committees that regulate their actions. An issue too long ignored.
