Safety Administration received four reports from drivers saying

acceleration after they were supposedly repaired in the
automaker’s recalls.
3 c: A4 x1 g. c3 Y+ yThe reports were posted on the regulator’s Web site. A
7 J* r; _" d1 [8 [' MTransportation Department spokeswoman, Olivia Alair, said the
' i! x7 W( f  o2 }% f+ Magency is looking into the complaints and hasn’t confirmed their
validity.
The complaints were about a 2007 and 2010 Camry, 2009
& Y0 A7 o+ ^& w+ S  ~2 ?Matrix and a 2008 Avalon that owners said had been repaired at
dealerships. Toyota has recalled more than 8 million vehicles
globally to modify floor mats and accelerator pedals because of
previous complaints.
“We will continue to thoroughly investigate any complaints
involving unintended acceleration,” said Brian Lyons, a Toyota
spokesman.
NHTSA said today that Toyota crashes possibly linked to

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。
