On Tuesday, the first hearings of Toyota's sudden acceleration problem started. Mr. Toyota was honest and admitted that he could have oayed closer attention to the problem is the last few years and said Toyota has stumbled. The hearing had a testimony from Rhonda Smith who is 2006 had a six mile long journey down the interstae when her car accelerated to 100 mph and nothing she did would slow it down. Mrs. Smith put the car in neutral, used the emergancy break and threw it into reverse and nothing slowed it down. The car finally slowed itself down before she crashed.
Rep. Bart Stuoak of Michigan said Toyota mislead the public on why this was happening and that the Transportation Agency lacked the experience to investigate Toyota correctly. Toyota is on the stand and everyine is against them. Toyota is lobbying congress and reming them that their facotories provide jobs in every congressional district. The government is finingout that Toyota may have been covering up the problem and been giving false information.
