From: john on 12 Apr 2010 21:51 Toyota has engaged routinely in questionable, evasive and deceptive legal tactics when sued, frequently claiming it does not have information it is required to turn over and sometimes even ignoring court orders to produce key documents, an Associated Press investigation shows. It has withheld potentially damaging documents and refused to release data stored electronically in its vehicles. For example, in a Colorado product-liability lawsuit filed by a man whose young daughter was killed in a 4Runner rollover crash, Toyota withheld documents about internal roof strength tests despite a federal judge's order that such information be produced, according to court records. The attorneys for Jon Kurylowicz now say such documents might have changed the outcome of the case, which ended in a 2005 jury verdict for Toyota.

The US Government doesn't *have* anyone who can even use that information. The Airbag information for all the crashes is almost certainly already in their hands. I've set my crosspost limit without followup to 2, so you'll just have to live with it. -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) )

Might'a, could'a,should'a..... I'm not saying that Toyota was correct in what they did, but apparently they won and they didnt get hammered on contempt of court or other charges. When you get your day in court, you better be ready.
From: Bill Yanaire on 13 Apr 2010 16:19 You're back with more negative reports. When did they release you from Rehab? Did you get the treatment you required? I hope you make a speedy recovery. Everyone has problems but your drug issues maybe behind you now. Hopefully in the near future you can get a job and finally get the Toyota you want. Good luck.

Toyota will in the news often because of all the litigation that will come for years, starting with the $24,000,000 NHTSA fine. The Sharks Class Action suits in most all of BOs "57" states will follow. ;) "chuckcar" <chuck(a)nil.car> wrote in message news:Xns9D597FA98DE9Dchuck(a)127.0.0.1... > john <johngdole(a)hotmail.com> wrote in > news:b19fdc6d-dee4-43ec-8ec0-a71ff4ce4384(a)30g2000yqi.googlegroups.com: > >> Toyota has engaged routinely in questionable, evasive and deceptive >> legal tactics when sued, frequently claiming it does not have >> information it is required to turn over and sometimes even ignoring >> court orders to produce key documents, an Associated Press >> investigation shows. >> >> It has withheld potentially damaging documents and refused to release >> data stored electronically in its vehicles. >> >> For example, in a Colorado product-liability lawsuit filed by a man >> whose young daughter was killed in a 4Runner rollover crash, Toyota >> withheld documents about internal roof strength tests despite a >> federal judge's order that such information be produced, according to >> court records.
