Safety Group Sues Claiming Data Was Altered To Exonerate Toyota In Crashes

Five days ago, when we told you the National Academy of Sciences was backing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s findings into unintended acceleration issues concerning Toyota Priuses, we speculated it wouldn’t be the last we’d hear on the matter.

Now an American safety group has sued the U.S. Department of Transportation under the Freedom of Information Act in order to gain access to documents which it says will back claims that the official NHTSA investigation was flawed.

Further more, Massachusetts-based Safety Research & Strategies Inc. -- an 8-year old company focused on highlighting and rectifying vehicle safety concerns as well as offering automotive safety litigation expertise to consumers -- makes the serious claim that NHTSA investigators massaged data to prove that elecronics faults were not the cause of  unintended acceleration incidents.

Not to mention all the ambulance chasing lawyers that want to go after a profitable corporation. Because according to Oblama, if you are profitable, then that is not fair and he needs to punish you.

Yup - cover up the Volt, sue Toyota. Not a freemarket place, just people trying to STEAL what isn't theirs.
