Toyota is still "making it right" with customers and with their product and U.S. vehicle-safety officials have recently stated that they have so far not found any defects in Toyota Motor Corp. vehicles, as a panel of scientists have studied the reason for unintentional acceleration that was the cause of massive recalls on Toyota models in recent months.
It has been implied by some members of Congress and some liability lawyers that engine electronics were responsible. These same people have been doubtful of Toyota's efforts, as well as the government's study, in looking into these electronic issues. Salt Lake City Toyota Sequoia dealers are just glad to be hearing some feedback from the panel and are so far very pleased that no defects have been discovered in Toyota products. "We have not actually been able to find a defect of electronic-throttle- control systems" in Toyota vehicles, said Dan Smith of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. He addressed a group of the National Academy of Sciences.
Smith added that regulators so far have only found two causes for the Toyota problems: floormats trapping the gas pedal and gas pedals that are slow in their return to idle. Owners of Salt Lake City new cars who have had problems have, for the most part, remained loyal to the brand. The National Academy of Sciences is beginning a comprehensive study of the acceleration issues and will make a recommendation at the end of their study on how regulations and standards can be improved to better and more quickly identify any defects in a vehicle.
The agency has not yet discounted the possibility that electronic defects could exist, but will continue to investigate. Other groups studying the Toyota recall issues are NHTSA and NASA. Salt Lake City Toyota Sequoia customers can be assured that Toyota wants to have this issue resolved and move on to correcting any problems that may be discovered.
David Strickland, NHTSA chief, reminded the academy members that unintended acceleration is an issue that affects all major automakers. "Complaints of unintended acceleration are not – repeat not- exclusive to Toyota," he added.
Dealers of Toyota Salt Lake City new cars are looking forward to getting the answers to the acceleration issues and Toyota Motor Corp. continues to fix any reported problems and do whatever it takes to satisfy their customers in the meantime.
The company also continues to improve its technology and increase its sales by getting the word out on the fuel efficiency and long-term value of its models and demonstrating excellence in customer service. They have also offered some great financial incentives for customers including cash back and low financing, which certainly can't hurt.
