Toyota Motor Corporation has been engaged for many years in a pattern of concealment regarding the causes of sudden, unintended acceleration in its vehicles. Notwithstanding Toyota's actual knowledge that many of its vehicles are defectively designed so that a sudden, unintended acceleration is possible any time after the ignition is engaged, Toyota has withheld material information from consumers, the public, the United States Government, and the Courts regarding the causes of sudden, unintended accelerations in its vehicles.
Toyota is very proud of the fact that it saved approximately $100 million (and jeopardized the safety of millions of innocent people) simply by negotiating with National Highway Transportation Administration regulators for a limited recall of 2007 Toyota Camry and Lexus ES models for sudden acceleration - the same problem that has since prompted it to recall millions of cars.
Since the fall of 2009, Toyota has recalled more than eight million vehicles worldwide in at least two separate actions relating to complaints of sudden, unintended acceleration.
Below is a list of the automobiles and trucks involved in the Toyota/Lexus recalls:
