A new report published by Safety Research & Strategies, Inc., provides an extremely comprehensive analysis of the current state of Toyota Sudden Acceleration issues. For anyone interested in this topic, it is an informative read. The summary of this report starts:
This report examines the complexities and inconsistencies within the public record on Sudden Unintended Acceleration (SUA) incidents involving Toyota vehicles. It concludes that neither Toyota nor the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has identified all of the causes of SUA in Toyota and Lexus model vehicles, nor has the automaker implemented remedies that address the types of complaints consumers are reporting. Since 1999, at least 2,262 Toyota and Lexus owners have reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the media, the courts and to Safety Research & Strategies that their vehicles have accelerated suddenly and unexpectedly in a variety of scenarios. These incidents have resulted in 815 crashes, 341 injuries and, 19 deaths potentially related to sudden unintended acceleration.
