Toyota Reports Back Findings On Electronic Flaws To House Panel

Toyota Motor Corp. hasn’t found any electronics flaws to explain sudden, unintended acceleration after examining more than 2,000 vehicles, the company’s U.S. sales chief will tell a House of Representatives panel today.

Toyota conducted 600 on-site inspections and more than 1,400 at its dealerships, James Lentz, president of Toyota Motor Sales USA Inc., said in remarks prepared for a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing and released yesterday.

“Significantly, none of these investigations have found that our Electronic Throttle Control System with intelligence was the cause,” Lentz said.

The reason why Toyota is going through all this trouble. Is Because of Obama.

Wait a company has a problem, goes before congress, 'investigates' itself, comes back and says "everything is fine, no problems" and people just accept that? Seriously?

I guess we know what BP will do.

I did miss that because frankly I don't care what Obama does. I do care that an outside expert hasn't been brought in to verify the data and experimental conditions. If that HAD been done then I would feel much more secure in the declaration of 'no flaw'.

Wait, so someone tells you Toyota has a problem, yet there is solid proof, and you just reject that? Fantastic logic!

Proof? If there wasn't a problem with all those cars then they wouldn't have done anything when you went to get it "fixed". That is my proof.

"Anyone stupid enough to buy a Toyota product after all their lies and deceit, deserves to french kiss a brick wall."
