The nearly 900 car accident fatalities that occurred last year in the state of Louisiana cost approximately $4 billion, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). While 40 percent of these involved driver intoxication and 25 percent involved the driver breaking traffic laws by speeding, in some cases, problems with the vehicle's equipment will cause or worsen a motor vehicle crash and the resulting injuries and damage.
Toyota has been a recent subject of intense public scrutiny as reports of serious accidents resulting from sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) in a number of their vehicles continue to mount. Although Toyota has publicly admitted this possible defect, the company has attributed it to sticky accelerator pedals/defective floor mats, and has issued a nationwide recall on about 6 million vehicles in the U.S.
Some people say they still have concerns, and some argue their vehicles had the same issues even after being “fixed” at a local dealer. Studies have been conducted to determine if there is a problem with the vehicles’ electric throttle systems. While some argue yes, Toyota argues no. As the debate continues, consumers may still be at risk.
