Toyota to pay $1b settlement in recall case

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday it has reached a settlement worth more than $1 billion in a case involving unintended acceleration problems in its vehicles.

Comments

Very interesting story because every mechanic or technician I ask about these Toyota unintended acceleration problems tells me the same thing: operator error or floor mats that were added to cars after purchase. I know there were injuries and tragic deaths, but I am surprised at the high dollar amount on this settlement.
