Toyota Throttle Electronics Easily Confused
The floor mats and sticking pedal accounts for only 30% of the
problems. The true cause of sudden acceleration is still not known so no real solution is possible. IMO it's the electronics. "In earlier testimony, David Gilbert, a Southern Illinois University professor, tells the panel he was able to produce in a lab environment a sudden-acceleration incident using a Toyota vehicle, in essence by introducing a short between two circuits. Gilbert, whose research was sponsored by consumer advocacy firm Safety Research & Strategies, says it was fairly simple to confuse the Toyota electronics, but he has so far been unable to introduce a similar failure in the electronic controls for a Buick Lucerne." http://wardsauto.com/home/toyota_still_looking_100223/ |

Im sure they know the reason why it happens, toyotas beancounters just figure its cheaper to ignore it and too hard to prove. You see eventualy all the defect cars will be totaled out and there wont be any proof, the rest die by attrition, so the problem dissapears magicly. It just takes time, a bit of lobbying, and a few employees that used to work for the NHTSA squash a few investigations, and its like it never happened. |
