From: john on 9 Feb 2010 23:27 Looks like even an insurance company could tell there's something wrong. Insurance giant State Farm alerted U.S. safety regulators in late 2007 that it was seeing an uptick in reports of sudden-unintended acceleration incidents in Toyota Motor Corp. vehicles, a company spokesman said today. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration officials confirmed that they had been notified by State Farm but were already investigating reports of unintended acceleration from drivers of Toyota and Lexus vehicles.

Yeah? And? Maybe they did. Then the NHTSA has to collect data, compile data, determine if it was operator error, question operators or survivors, etc etc etc. Sometimes it can take 5-7 years before they start to see a trend. Tpypta realized it in three. numbnutz.

I'll bet State Farm carefully examined all Toyota crashes to make sure none of the defective cars was covered by State Farm 'cause if I were an owner and my insurance company knew about a defect and didn't tell me, I'd sure be pissed.

Wake up, they had complaints from 2003 and maybe earlier, well thats about right as your thinking goes, 7 years, then a high percentage would be off the road by then. The bastards should be fined billions. |
