From: john on 1 Feb 2010 01:57 "A former top U.S. safety official said federal investigators raised concerns to Toyota Motor Corp. about the gas pedals in its vehicles as far back as 2007 but were told they weren't the problem. "If Toyota misled the federal government, they should be severely punished," Nason said. She said it was "extremely coincidental" that Toyota has issued two separate recalls involving the pedals of models NHTSA was investigating in 2007. "NHTSA said in an April 2008 report that it sent surveys to nearly 2,000 owners of 2007 Lexus ES350 sedans and nearly 10 percent -- or 59 out of 600 that responded -- reported they had "experienced unintended acceleration," but only 35 of those said they had all-weather floor mats.
