Since there have been a lot of talks and unpleasant issues after the major Toyota recall, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has decided to set new auto safety rules which would not allow the same problem to happen again. At the congressional hearing two days ago, the new administrator, David Strickland, has announced them.
In the last weeks almost every American has heard and discussed the problem of Toyota vehicles that have to be recalled because of “unintended acceleration”. The Japanese manufacturer is suffering losses in sales and reputation of a company that builds safest cars, but there are many questions to be answered about this whole deal.
For many years Toyota was known as a manufacturer of high-quality vehicles, but the recent events ruined it like a house of cards. While the automaker is losing reputation, sales and money, others are trying to gain on it as much as possible: the three big American manufacturers are offering good deals for those who want to give up their Toyotas.
In the light of the recent mega-recalls Toyota started losing sales. In order to slow down the production, the manufacturer has decided to close two U.S. plants for an indefinite time till things clear up for the company.
Toyota has recently announced a major recall to a number of its models due to the acceleration pedal problems. Massachusetts Division of Insurance has decided to help the drivers who had accidents because of the pedal condition. The Division and made a specific rule that protects the owners of the recalled Toyotas.
Sometimes having great sales and producing autos too quickly might turn against the car manufacturer. This is what happened to Toyota which has to recall nearly 700,000 cars in China because of such minor problem as a faulty window switch.
