Toyota faces innovative US investigation

Japanese carmaker Toyota is facing a new US investigation into complaints of steering troubles in its Corolla model. The investigation is predictable to be opened on Thursday and will involve an estimated 500,000 vehicles.

It is already facing an investigation into whether it was rapid enough in recalling cars over problems involving accelerator and braking systems. Toyota said on Wednesday that it was looking into complaints of influence steering problems with the Corolla.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says it has acknowledged more than 150 complaints about possible steering problems in the 2009-2010 Corolla.

Toyota sold nearly 1.3 million of the models worldwide last year, as well as about 300,000 in the US.

Toyota is facing another US investigation into whether it was rapid enough in recalling millions of cars over problems involving accelerator pedals and braking systems.

It has starved of any cover-up and says it will co-operate to provide all the information they have requested on the US inquiry. The saga began in the US with reports that accelerator pedals were getting wedged under the floor mats.

The Japanese car massive began recalling vehicles potentially affected by that problem in October last year and Toyota then redesigned the mats. The floor mat issues precious a number of vehicles in the US, but not in the UK.

Shortly, separate acceleration troubles were found to be caused by the pedal sticking. This was then followed by the recall of about 436,000 hybrid vehicles, as well as the Prius model, over brake concerns.
