Fort Myers Toyota
Officials continue to investigate Toyota’s vehicles involved in crashes last fall, but the recent data indicates that Toyota’s electronic defects are not the cause of the accident.
The brakes of more than half of the vehicles examined were either not applied at the time of the crash or were applied just before impact. In an examination of 58 Toyota vehicles that were involved in sudden acceleration reports, data found on the vehicle’s “black box” shows that the brakes were not applied at the time of the crash. Nine other vehicles show that the brakes were applied in the last possible seconds before impact.
This data leads the experts at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, who examined these vehicles, to believe that the driver who did not step on the brake at the time of the accident is at fault. Although this report does not cite the cause of unintended acceleration, people involved in the investigation believe that is it likely that mistakenly hitting the gas instead of the brakes may be the cause of the sudden acceleration.
No new defects have been found with regard to the TOYOTA electronic throttle control.
These reports are the first to become public after Congress asked the NHTSA to release their research. The study is in its fifth month after over 8.5 million Toyota vehicles were recalled last year.
