Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 05, 2009 5:00 pm) I did note earlier that the bottom of my Camrys' accelerator pedals are about an inch higher above the floor than in the 2010 Camry (and presumably the 2007-09 models). |

Class-action suit filed for Toyota owners Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 2:31 a.m. A Southern California law firm has filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of Toyota and Lexus owners who say their vehicles were involved in incidents of sudden acceleration. The Redlands-based firm of McCuneWrightsaid it filed the suit Thursday in the name of two Los Angeles County residents who have experienced multiple cases of unintended speeding. “For years, Toyota Motor Corp. has dismissed complaints of sudden acceleration as being the driver’s fault,” attorney David Wright said in a statement. “But neither driver error nor floor mats can explain away many other frightening instances of runaway Toyotas. Until the company acknowledges the real problem and fixes it, we worry that other preventable injuries and deaths will occur.” Toyota is advising owners to remove all driver-side mats from certain Toyota and Lexus models and is preparing for a recall, once the automaker and federal officials determine the underlying defects that may be behind the incidents. http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2009/nov/07/class-action-suit-filed-for-toyot- a-owners/ November 6, 2009 4:49 PM EST REDLANDS, Calif., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The law firm of McCuneWright, LLP, filed a national class action lawsuit yesterday against Toyota Motor Corporation on behalf of Toyota and Lexus owners who have experienced incidents of sudden unintended acceleration. Los Angeles County residents Seong Bae Choi, the owner of a 2004 Camry and Chris Chan Park, who owns a 2008 FJ Cruiser, will represent the class. Both have experienced multiple instances of sudden unintended acceleration in their respective vehicles, Choi and Park are also among the thousands of Toyota and Lexus owners who have experienced incidents of sudden unintended acceleration while driving their vehicles, and among the millions who are potentially affected by this dangerous defect. This, however, is not the only fatal crash resulting from sudden unintended acceleration in Toyota and Lexus models. Sean Kane, president of Safety Research & Strategies, Inc., has reported at least 16 fatalities and 243 injuries in crashes involving Toyotas that have been attributed to sudden unintended acceleration. In total, there have been more than 2,000 complaints of sudden unintended acceleration in these vehicles, culled from litigation and consumer-reported complaints to the automaker and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). http://www.streetinsider.com/Press+Releases/Class+Action+Lawsuit+Filed+Against+T- oyota+to+Correct+Sudden+Acceleration/5085310.html
