| NHTSA Investigating Toyota Cars For Sudden Acceleration By Sharon Silke Carty DETROIT (Dow Jones)--The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration is investigating complaints that some Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:TM - News) cars may suddenly accelerate or surge, causing one car to strike a pedestrian. The 2002 and 2003 Toyota Camry, Camry Solara and Lexus ES300 vehicles all come equipped with an electronic throttle control system, which the NHTSA said uses sensors to determine how much throttle is being applied. The NHTSA said 30 crashes have been attributed to the problem, with four accidents resulting in five injuries. The crashes "varied from minor to significant and may have involved other vehicles and/or building structures." The preliminary investigation is the first step in the investigative process. The NHTSA will contact Toyota to ask for documents pertaining to the issue, and could upgrade the investigation to an engineering analysis. More than 1 million Toyotas are covered by this investigation, according to the agency. Toyota officials could not immediately be reached for comment. ### |
