Feds in Talks With Toyota Over Acceleration Problems
The National Highway Safety Administration announced Tuesday that it is in talks with Toyota Motor Corp. over how to fix sudden acceleration problems that triggered the recall of more than 3 million Toyota vehicles, the Detroit Free Press reports. At issue is whether the automaker should focus on defective floor mats, accelerators or other parts of the vehicles. Attorneys representing those killed or injured in sudden acceleration crashes have pointed to electronic throttle control malfunctions as another serious design issue.
