NHTSA found no defect in the electronic Toyota cars

After reviewing the first case, NHTSA representatives said that members of Congress in 35 of the 58 cases studied with Toyota cars brake was not, suggesting that drivers were pressed instead acceleration. Investigations continue.

U.S. federal investigators said yesterday in an interview that the first indications of the study show errors Toyota cars for drivers - and not the electronics. Thus, the initial findings that in most cases studied, the "unintended acceleration" Toyota cars are to blame drivers. In the 58 cases studied, partial braking was noted in 14 cases, the accelerator pedal jammed the mat in a case, and in other appropriate brake and throttle have been pressed simultaneously.

The data so-called "black box" electronic machines extracted from the resulting vehicle has no defects. Toyota maintained its claims representatives, or mechanical problems that drivers are responsible for "unintended accelerations.

The results are not definitive and NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) and other agencies continue investigations.

"Inspection of the data recorded on board the machine is only a small part of NHTSA's efforts to clarify situations of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles," said Olivia Alair, a spokesman for the Department of Transportation. "At this early stage of investigation, engineers have identified the failure to take any safety in cars Toyota off the accelerator, which may remain blocked."

A comprehensive report, which brings its contribution and NASA and National Academy of Ştiiţelor will be presented next year.

Toyota recalled to service over 8.5 million cars worldwide, including 6 million in the U.S., for problems related to acceleration.
