Growing Concerns: Will Toyota Solve the Problem?

For Toyota and Lexus owners, concerns continue to grow. As a new 2010 Toyota Camry purchaser, I can attest to that. As posted in another blog I was previously advised that I would be notified in writing once parts came in to fix my gas pedal. However, to date, I still have not received anything from Toyota, written or otherwise, advising me that parts are in, which is concerning since we continue to drive our car around with our two children. 

After reading the news about yesterday's hearing before Congress, it is apparent that even if I do finally get contacted to bring my car in that may not even resolve any potential accelerator issues. Although I have been fortunate enough in that I have not had an accelerator issues yet, I do not want to be in the car with my children if it does ever happen. For now I guess I just continue to drive my car hoping that Toyota soon figures out whether the problem is electrical, a gas pedal problem or something else sooner rather than later. 

It has been reported that 34 deaths have already been linked to the issue, which is 34 too many. It appears that Toyota could have and probably should have addressed the issue sooner according to Congress as Toyota is being scrutinized for their delayed response to the problem. Recalls were not issued in the U.S. until 2007, which did not even address the actual acceleration problem but dealt with floor mats, even though NHTSA knew of potential problems since 2003.

If you do own a Lexus or Toyota like I do, I hope that your concerns and mine will be addressed and all issues will be resolved soon. Hopefully Toyota will quickly identify whether the problem is electrical. Until then, Roswold Law Group encourages you to drive cautiously.
