At 10: 15 on March 4, 2010, Toyota drivers complained to safety officials that their cars would accelerate themselves even after they were repaired due to the sticking of the accelerator pedal or the floor pad problem, which was discovered this morning.
This development raises the question of whether Toyota\'s repairs will end the crazy, uncontrolled acceleration, or whether there may be an electronic reason behind the complaints that have plagued automakers.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says even after two major recalls, it is reaching out to those who complain about speed-up problems.
It said the agency would like to hear from other people with similar issues.
Toyota chief executive David Strickland said in a statement that if Toyota owners still encounter a sudden acceleration incident after taking the car to the dealership, we would like to know this.
As of yesterday, out of a total of 55,862 affected vehicles, the UK number of vehicles undertaking the accelerator pedal recall was 180,000.
There is no problem report after the fix is in place.
New complaints from the United StatesS.
Congress has held three hearings over the recall in the past week and is investigating Toyota\'s safety concerns.
Democratic Representative Bruce brali said that I am deeply concerned that NHTSA has received so many reports about the possible sudden unexpected acceleration, even if the vehicles have received a recommendation from Toyota, he is working on a board investigating Toyota.
It is crucial that we solve this problem as soon as possible.
Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons said the company is investigating the complaints, although it still has confidence in the recall.
He said the team of engineers was being mobilized to check about 15 complaints.
Since October, Toyota has recalled more than 8 million vehicles worldwide to repair floor mats that can get stuck on the accelerator pedal or faulty pedal assemblies.
NHTSA says the crash in connection with Toyota\'s acceleration problem has killed 52 people.
Toyota accused the driver of stepping on the wrong pedal because of mechanical reasons.
However, some people question whether the failure of the electronic throttle system or software may be a failure, not a mechanical problem involving the pedal.
Toyota said it would use electronics as a possible reason.
At the same time, the driver kept complaining that the fix did not solve the problem, including at least 15 complaints submitted to NHTSA in the past two weeks.
Stewart Stogel, owner of a 2009 Camry in New York, said he almost missed driving on the bank and hit a wall.
Last Saturday, the size car accelerated itself --
As part of the recall, five days after being served.
Stogel, who did not file a complaint with NHTSA, said that the accident occurred near his home because a dealer trimmed the accelerator pedal and installed new brake control software
\"At first the brakes didn\'t start at all,\" said the 49-year-old. year-

\"Just as I approached the Terrace Avenue, the wheels were able to get some traction and suddenly the engine did get out.
Stogel said the car had been accelerated twice before the recall and that he had taken it with him to the dealer for inspection twice.
In one case, he said, Toyota\'s technicians checked it and they did not find any problems.
The 59-year-old Caroline Kimbrell, a retired office assistant in whittsville, Kentucky, said she accelerated 2006 vehicles when she returned with nine Toyota Avalon last weekend. year-

The incident occurred on February 20, when her dealer inserted a piece of metal into the accelerator pedal mechanism to eliminate friction with the pedal problem.
She said the dealer said that her car was not covered by the PAD recall, but agreed to fix it after she reported the latest incident.
The recall damaged Toyota\'s reputation for safety and quality and triggered a casualty lawsuit.
Federal prosecutors in New York are conducting a criminal investigation into the recall, and the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating what automakers have told investors.
Electronic reasons have been reviewed because so far Toyota and the government have not taken any steps to review these reasons.
Most modern cars are essentially computers on wheels, consisting of sensors, wires and computer chips that control throttle, brakes, transmissions, and other functions.
Software failure will occur in the computer, electrical interference will cause the sensor to send the wrong signal, and electrical short circuit will occur.
Sometimes two or three glitches occur at the same time. Re-
It is extremely difficult to make electronic problems because they often leave no trace.
Sean Kane, president of Safety Research and Strategy, said the latest complaint further demonstrated that the car manufacturer\'s repairs did not cover all possible causes

Kane said that anyone who has reviewed the complaint and reviewed what happened here must come to the conclusion that there is more to happen than sticky pedals, floor mats and drivers, the company is investigating a trial lawyer against Toyota.
Kane believes that there are multiple electronic roots in this problem, perhaps in cruising --

At the same time, it is revealed that Toyota\'s Prius is still the top model.
Despite the global recall, cars are still being sold in Japan.
