The auto maker has been sued by many people on account of their horror stories and sometimes plainly miraculous escapes because of Toyota’s accelerator problems.

House Energy and Commerce Committee's investigative panel chairman Bart Stupak of Michigan, was upset with the company’s handling of the issue and reiterated that floor mats and sticking gas pedals were not the actual cause of the accelerating problems. The actual issue lies in the possibility of electronic problems. The committee alleged that the government and the car manufacturer have failed as public representatives. He also admitted to the blunder on part of his agency to thoroughly investigate Toyota Motors, even after the recall of several models of the 2010 hybrid Prius.
