The case is a damning example of egregious complicity by our federal safety agency between 2004 and 2007. ABC's investigation came out last week so Bloomberg is behind the times; the information on the revolving door finally came to light because of depositions in a lawsuit from a truly horrific crash. Here are two from ABC http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/RunawayToyotas/revolving-door-us-safety-agency -toyota-representative/story?id=9747342&page=1 http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/toyota-cover-runaway-car-concerns/story?id=900 7163 Until ABC exposed this, literally no mainstream media would give any time to this. Here is a mid-January article from a safety group, debunking the floor mat and gas pedal claims http://www.safetyresearch.net/2010/01/15/toyota-sudden-acceleration-in-rever se/ And this article was in a Kansas City paper on a whistleblower regarding the issue - also weeks ago http://kansascity.injuryboard.com/automobile-accidents/toyota-sudden-acceler ation-recall-anonymous-whistle-blower-ids-cracked-throttle-bodies.aspx?googl eid=277318 And of course there is the NY Times article on Steve Wozniak's Prius that followed this article in AutoBlog http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/02/woz-up-apple-co-founder-speaks-about-soft ware-related-sudd/ Here's the NY Times article http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/03/apple-co-founder-my-prius-has-a-p roblem-too/ Deborah S.
