Again in Soup: Electronic Problem Gives Toyota another Blow!
Abstract:Toyota is surely going through its roughest phase! This time flaws in an electronic system forcing Toyota to fix nearly 1.2 million Corolla and Matrix models.
Since November 2009, NHTSA (National Highway Traffic System Administration) has received 26 stalling complaints in Corolla and Matrix models where drivers reported the stalls happened randomly and could have caused fatal accidents. Although Toyota disapproves the potency of the alleged defect to create “an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety”, but the U.S. safety regulators and members of three congressional panels have criticized Toyota for moving too slowly to address consumer complaints of unintended acceleration and other safety concerns.
Recently Toyota went through a rough phase when it had to recall 8.5 million of its vehicles due to acceleration and engine problem. Now with the flaw of electronic system, Toyota will again come under the scrutiny of US regulatory bodies.
