The continuing saga of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles has taken a new turn today as Transport Minister Ray LaHood issued a statement that no evidence was found for electronic problems in Runaway Toyotas.
"The jury is back. The verdict is in. There are no electronic-based cause of unwanted high-speed acceleration in Toyotas. Period." LaHood said in prepared statement. This finding is at the end of a 10-month investigation conducted jointly by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and NASA, which was conducted by asking the Congress.
Over 280,000 separate lines of code in the electronics of the potentially affected vehicles Toyota were embedded by NASA, which may cause any acceleration of any errors contained outliers examined, the report said.
This is not to say that the government has found that Toyota is not at fault in any way. LaHood added, "Our conclusion - that Toyota, the problems were mechanical, electrical not come -. undertaken according to final, thorough and intensive research effort ever '
This mechanical problems, namely sticky throttle and pedals, which was caught under faulty floor mats "will remain the only known causes for this type of unsafe incidents of unintended acceleration," said NHTSA. It should prove interesting to see how the courts - to respond to these findings - both public opinion and law.
