Sudden Acceleration Controversy

The unexpected and uncontrollable acceleration of a vehicle is a very serious matter. Drivers and passengers alike have been injured and killed by vehicles that suddenly accelerated to speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour. Because of the design of these vehicles, drivers are unable to stop by using the brakes, leading to devastating accidents.

Toyota officials claim the issue stems from unsecured floor-mats on the driver’s side of the car, which they believe causes the accelerator to become stuck in place. However, many drivers blame a serious underlying defect with the vehicles’ electronic control systems.

In fact, since 2001, Toyota drivers have logged well over 1,000 complaints about sudden and unintended acceleration of their vehicles. Sudden acceleration accidents have been blamed for over 15 deaths and 240 injuries.
