还记得ABC报道里面,一个南伊利诺教授“展示”丰田油门不受控持续加油?现在有新证据显示,ABC根本无法复制丰田油门事件,所以只好特地改造了一个丰田以作为展示,而在新闻中却说该事件可以复制。; P/ x( y4 k, _6 R

这次ABC新闻和1992年NBC关于通用卡车的报道有异曲同工之妙。那一次NBC为了证明通用卡车在侧撞时会爆炸,在车里藏了炸药再摄制。

# o4 o# A0 H- b- {, n. UGawker.com is reporting that ABC News confirmed to them that footage in a news report showing Professor David Gilbert's test-car being driven by reporter Brian Ross was altered. Footage of the tachometer revving while driven was replaced by a shot of it revving while parked, because the driving shot was too blurry. ABC says this doesn't change the fact that a similar acceleration occurred, but Gawker says it was done to "make it look scarier."5 u! O$ y2 l, A7 R4 D

More than 60 Toyota owners have complained to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about cars already repaired under the two major Toyota recalls, saying they aren't fixed and their throttles can still race out of control. This brought up a new slew of questions regarding the company's fixes and its throttle control system.1 d" B/ F, _/ L' S8 J/ K

The company's findings have been forwarded to NHTSA for review, but no word has been released yet from the government. Toyota said it found no defects with the repairs or the electronic throttle control. |
