The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that more than 920 individuals died on Kentucky roadways as a result of serious motor vehicle accidents, during the last year statistics were available.

Life-threatening and unpredictable, sudden unintended acceleration occurs when a vehicle begins to speed up all of the sudden without the driver stepping on the accelerator – and without him/her having the ability to slow or stop the car via the brakes.

In September 2009, Toyota recalled approximately 6 million of their vehicles in the U.S., due to floor mats and sticky pedals, not electrical defects.
