Toyota has recently recalled more than 8 million vehicles
due to reports of unintended acceleration by drivers and pressure from
government officials and the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
Contrary to what Toyota executives have been claiming, Akio
Toyoda, chairperson of the Toyota Company, does not believe that a defect in
the vehicles is to blame, but rather a miscommunication within the company.
While Toyota executives are making promises to reinforce
breaks and implement a brake over-ride system in newer vehicles, Toyota is
blaming “negative reporting” for the current situation of the company.
Meanwhile, Toyota owners are being left in the dark over
what to do with their vehicles and whether or not to seek help. Numerous injuries and fatalities have already
been reported due to malfunctions with Toyota vehicles.
Those who have been involved in an accident involving a
faulty Toyota are urged to seek the help of an accident lawyer specializing in Toyota-related cases.
Many accident lawyers throughout the nation are eager
to help those affected by the defective vehicles and will work to procure
compensation for the victims.
