Toyota claims it knew there were problems with accelerator-pedal assemblies from supplier CTS late last year, but not enough to warrant a recall. Toyota "says it has no direct reports of injuries or deaths," but an ABC report has linked "the problem to four deaths." These reports have cause the automaker to recall 2.3 million Toyotas. This is a different recell than the gas pedals which got stuck under floor mats and caused accidents.
Auto accidents can happen at any time and with product defects those accidents are not the drivers fault. If you have been involved in an auto accident that was not your fault or the result of a product defect you need to contact a personal injury attorney. The personal injury lawyers of Rutter Mills have extensive accident experience in all areas of Virginia.
