Toyota Tries To Get Lawsuit Thrown Out Of Court Based On NASA Findings

Toyota is citing a new NASA report that found no electronic defects in its vehicles in its second attempt to dismiss a sudden acceleration class-action lawsuit.

Armed with the NASA study, Toyota's legal team says the lawsuits are without merit.

"Plaintiffs are chasing a phantom theory of defect that only last week NASA and NHTSA, after an extensive investigation, jointly confirmed does not exist," wrote a Toyota lawyer in a motion filed on Monday.

I see, so you dislike the professor yet find no fault in his claims. So instead you attack me.

Damn what Toyota says. And the NHTSA. And even NASA. What people *believe* is important. It's what the media tells us that's vital. That's how we got here. That's how we managed to do the Audi Unintended Acceleration Dance, *twice*.

"Audi used to build some of the crappies cars in the 80's."

And you know this for a fact because of what? Your fellow Toyota fanboys told you this?

I can tell you based on reading everything I had to read before recently getting a Toyota for my wife, that allot of the cases Toyota is looking to clear it's name from are basically People's word vs Toyota

Not University professor vs Toyota or proven explanation vs Toyota.

Just basically mister Joe Blo's word vs Toyota.

James Sikes is the perfect example, calling 911 claiming his Prius wouldn't stop, turned out to be a fake ...

He's 700 000 dollars in debt and needed the cash.

How many James Sikes are out there right now pretending to slip in a mall, putting a bug in their soups or suing someone for something or another ...
