Toyota faces further probe by US authorities

WASHINGTON: Toyota has recalled six million cars in the US over concerns about sudden acceleration. But an analysis of government documents shows that many Toyota Camrys built before 2007, which were not subject to recalls, have been linked to a comparable number of speed-control problems as recalled Camrys.

While owners of all makes of vehicles have filed complaints with the government about speed control problems, the analysis – based on a review of 12,700 complaint records in the US over the last decade by The New York Times – reveals that Toyota had more complaints involving crashes than any other carmaker.
