Toyota recall
Toyota is recalling 2,000,000 of its cars because of a defect in its accelerator. Tragic injuries and even death have resulted from a sudden acceleration of Toyota vehicles. At first Toyota announced that the mat could hold the gas peddle down but now it appears the the problem is in the system itself. These problems have had a ripple effect as to some American cars such as the Pontiac Vibe.

A law suit in Virgina alleges that there are considerably more vehicles manufactured by Toyota that are defective and could potentially cause the gas pedal to cause an acceleration and resulting injuries and death.
