More Toyota issues
#4
The AP article has a little more detail: http://apnews.excite.com/article/2010030...64VO1.html


AP also found that Toyota:


- Has frequently refused to provide key information sought by crash victims and survivors.
If Toyota has nothing to hide, why wouldn't they provide data from the EDR?

- Uses proprietary software in its EDRs. Until this week, there was only a single laptop in the U.S. containing the software needed to read the data following a crash.

- In some lawsuits, when pressed to provide recorder information Toyota either settled or provided printouts with the key columns blank.
Why would they settle or blank parts of print outs if they had nothing to hide?

They may have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide, but their actions would lead one to believe otherwise. Have other companies acted similarly? Absolutely. It is because of this, that Toyota faces such scrutiny. In the end, it may come out that the issue was never as bad as it was made out, but the manner in which Toyota responded may destroy their brand.
