review of
Toyota cars
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— Congressional investigators are
expanding their look into the large
recall of Toyota vehicles by examin-
ing whether the sudden accelera-
tion problems affect other models,
suggesting as well that all Toyota
vehicles be retrofitted to avoid the
problem.
In a letter Wednesday to the
head of Toyota’s North American
operation, the chairman of a con-
gressional committee that will hold
a hearing on the recall next week
asked detailed questions about
how the company has dealt with
the acceleration issue and whether
it’s safe to drive the models that
have been recalled.
The committee’s investiga-
tion, one of two being conduct-
ed in Congress, comes as U.S.
Transportation Secretary Ray
LaHood said Wednesday that the
government now is looking into
complaints about problems with
brakes on Toyota’s popular Prius
hybrid sedan, after reports that
Japan’s government has asked the
company to investigate the issue.
The letter written by Rep.
Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., chair-
man of the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee,
specifically asks questions about
similar problems in the Toyota
Tacoma truck.
He noted that the National
H i g h w a y Tr a f f i c S a f e t y
Administration has received more
than 100 complaints about sudden
acceleration in the Tacoma, which
does not have the same accelera-
tor pedal assembly as the recalled
models.
He cited some complaints in
which faulty floor mats, which
Toyota recalled last year, also did
not appear to be the cause.
“What would explain episodes
such as this, where drivers are
experiencing an uncontrollable
acceleration and, reportedly,
no floor mats are present in the
vehicle (or they reported the floor
mat was not involved), particular-
ly for this make and model where
no CTS pedal is involved,” Towns
wrote.
LaHood on Wednesday advised
drivers of Toyota vehicles recalled
because of sudden acceleration
problems to get their vehicles fixed
quickly, which will be a major task
for the automaker given the num-
ber of vehicles involved.
Toyota Motor Corp. has recalled
2.3 million cars and trucks in the

“We will continue to investigate

Toyota responded Wednesday
that unless people are experienc-

the autos are safe to drive.
“Our message to Toyota own-
