Safety Administration received four reports from drivers saying

automaker’s recalls.
: B) f. ^- G( HThe reports were posted on the regulator’s Web site. A
Transportation Department spokeswoman, Olivia Alair, said the
agency is looking into the complaints and hasn’t confirmed their
* @. ]: l* ^" H9 G4 P* r( _6 Zvalidity.
The complaints were about a 2007 and 2010 Camry, 2009
Matrix and a 2008 Avalon that owners said had been repaired at
dealerships. Toyota has recalled more than 8 million vehicles

previous complaints.
“We will continue to thoroughly investigate any complaints

spokesman.

unintended acceleration have caused 43 fatal crashes with 52
deaths and 38 injuries. About two-thirds of the incidents have

for unintended acceleration.

真的假的？那位大牛出来证实一下。
这下好了，国内不过是“下坡不超凯美瑞，上坡不跟汉兰德”，也就两款车。到了加拿大，只要见到丰田/lexus的轿车就得让道，太牛了。
