Obama Admin Admits There Was No Electronic Problem Causing Toyota Sudden Acceleration

Months ago I wrote that the Obama Administration was sitting on an NHTSA report that would conclusively exonerate Toyota from charges that the electronics in its cars was causing them to suddenly accelerate. The Administration had almost no other choice but to delay in the face of weeks of statements by Administration officials and Democratic congressmen excoriating the automaker. (Overlawyered also covered the suppression charge and the NYTimes' participation in the attack on Toyota.)

Lo-and-behold, now that the election is over and Democrats can get no more camera time on the issue the report finally comes out.

A federal investigation into the recall of Toyota vehicles found no electronic flaws to explain sudden, unintentional acceleration, according to a report released Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The latest report came after a 10-month investigation into whether faulty electronics were responsible for the unintentional high-speed acceleration problem. But the investigation found no evidence for any causes for the unintended acceleration beyond sticking accelerator pedals and floor mat entrapment, though officials said they would consider steps to prevent drivers from pushing wrong the pedal.

At one point, Transportation Secretary LaHood even announced that Toyota owners should return their cars to the dealers and demand refunds. Congressional Democrats were dragging Toyota executives to inquisitorial committee hearings all for an imaginary problem. Oops.

Toyota issued several recalls to secure floor mats and adjust sticky brake pedals but the claim that some electronic goblin was causing their cars to accelerate out of control formed the heart of the inquisition. Ultimately, Toyota was forced to pay more than $48 million in fees because of the recalls and Toyota was the only full-line automaker in 2010 to post lower sales.

Remember, this was completely predictable. It happened before. A few incidents get blown completely out of proportion by giddy lawmakers and credulous media and then every person in a fender-bender uses the "it just got away from me" excuse.

File this one under "politicized science."

6 Even if there was a problem with Toyota vehicles, they shouldn't be held 100 percent culpable.

Sudden Unintended Acceleration can be countered very easily now days by shifting the vehicle into neutral, the rev limiter prevents engine damage and you still have power to brakes and the steering. Brake with a combination of regular and hand brakes. Once the vehicle is stopped, turn off the vehicle.

It is that simple.

It is a similar deal with going down a steep and long hill. If you use the brakes too much, the brakes heat up and loose their effectiveness or fail. Whenever you are going down a long steep grade you are supposed to down shift and let the engine keep the car from running away.

59 I have determined that the cause of the horrific crashes was not due to faulty throttles or sudden acceleration. Instead, anthropogenic climate change has caused the fabric of spacetime to violently contract, what with all the heat and stuff.

Design wise, the Corvair was similar to the VW beetle and only exhibited the claimed "dangerous" handling characteristics if people failed to inflate the tires with the prescribed pressure differential front/back. VW also recommended the same pressure differential to tame the jacking and over steer effects of swing axle rear engine cars.

106 It was a startling and statistically impossible coincidence.

Yea, lots of those kinda things...like the Firestone tire "problems" Ford was having on the SUV's. Curious that the incidents were heavily biased towards southern states.

Gosh, underinflate a tire by 10lb or so, put it on a 5-6,000lb vehicle, run it at 80mph down a southern freeway, on a hot day, and its not surprising at all it delams.

Maybe those Firestones weren't the best quality, but inflated correctly and driven at sane speeds the tire was intened to be driven at, the delam issues would have been statistical noise level.

112 106--That Firestone debacle was the nastiest scam I've ever seen foisted on a tire company. I was in the auto industry ay that time, several fleet accounts we serviced used those identical tires, down to the DOT numbers. They were used on service vans, which were grossly overloaded (not unusual), but we (my co) serviced the vans on a regular basis. We never experienced any delam or other failures with any tire. All we did was replace them due to normal wear.

That was total bullshit from the word go.

In other words, they lowered the price by about $2000with a gimmick. I'm only sorry I didn't wait another couple months when they were giving away free iPads with each car.

117 It is a similar deal with going down a steep and long hill. If you use the brakes too much, the brakes heat up and loose their effectiveness or fail. Whenever you are going down a long steep grade you are supposed to down shift and let the engine keep the car from running away.

One of my pet peeves about the auto industry is that they save money in the worst places.

121 We never experienced any delam or other failures with any tire.

Inflation pressure was the key thing. The idiots at Ford recommended an inflation pressure significantly lower than Firestone's minimum so "the ride" would be like a comfy sofa.

Of course that raised rolling resistance and internal friction within the rubber beyond its design specs.

Your vans were probably going out inflated near the recommended maximums, which kept internal heating subdued even when overloaded, and fleet drivers don't last too long when they start too many collecting speeding tickets...

Demand they pre-fill the oil filter before spinning it on. The vast majority of service people don't do this and the engine will have several seconds of zero-pressure when its first started again.

Whenever I change my oil, I *always* prefill the filter. It usually takes a minute or more to accomplish because it takes a few fillings before the oil soaks completely through the filter.

Do your homework, though. Almost everything most "brake shops" and dealerships carries is crap. I like EBC and they carry most car fitments. Hawks may be better but for less cars. They all make different types for different vehicles/uses.
Don't even GLANCE at "consumer reviews," look for reviews where they actually test the product.Some brake shops can order EBC, they're not much more expensive than the "premium crap."Nobody can beat the price on the really cheap crap, but then, nobody wants to end up halfway through a tree, either.Like I said, pet peeve of mine.

Lousy brakes on newer vehicles? How about , when you're downsizing the fucking thing, leave the goddamn brakes ALONE. Front drive cars have 80to85% of their weight up front. Every manufacturer downsized the rotors along with the rest of the car--thereby making the difficult job of braking the vehicle harder. Hence the brakes wearing out in 10k. Or in GM's case, outsourcing their rotors to China, and getting some total pieces of shit. I observed countless instances of rusting on the machined surface, which decreased the swept brake area, leading to decreased stopping power. Some became evident within 3 to 5 k miles, on certain GM models.

Nope. Not more lethal than other cars, extremely difficult for those two parts to collide (in the legendary initial collision that started the case the impact killed everyone in the car before the fire started).Also, the smoking gun memo that "won" the case didn't refer to the Pinto, didn't refer to any design changes in the Pinto, and the human value calculation that earned GM the media's wrath was quoted from the government regulators that requested the memo from GM.The famous UCLA tests later used to back up the news narrative also used an incendiary device under the gas tanks.Basically, that guy who said "everything you know is wrong" was a fucking genius and if he got royalties for that we'd all be broke.I can source all that but it would take time and this is a blog comment, not homework. It's all out there. The UCLA thing was from a 1968 report detailing their methods, NBC just never mentioned the incendiaries when they used it.

183 The rotor design is as important as the pad. If the rotor doesn't dissipate heat well, there will be problems like warping...even with a ceramic pad.

As a general statement, I've been underwhelmed by the robustness of the rotors on most Japanese cars I've looked at..even the pricier Lexus/Acura types sport flimsy rotors compared to a comparable sized VW or BMW.

I do the same thing (probably more aggressively) when lucky enough to have an M/T, but just so everyone else knows, while trail-braking is bad, brake pads are cheaper than clutches.

Just sayin'.

Also, I don't drive 3mph below the speed limit in traffic or draft people to save a few pennies on gas, in case that's obvious. And I haven't had a car in more than a decade that didn't need premium gas, either.

Well, technically the Turbo Volvo can run on the cheap stuff, but I lose like 10hp from the (automatic) timing changes, depending on air temps.

One problem that Corvairs did have was with their air-cooled engines in the back, the fan belt had a large number of right angle turns to make and they were always wearing out and getting thrown or broken quickly. That had nothing to do with whatever scam ass-breath Nader was making his swag on.

192 One other thing to keep in mind about the BS book was that only one chapter was dedicated to the Corvair and that was only for the earlier model units.

The rest of the book was for ALL cars that were built at that time.

Another thing to keep in mind was that back in the late 50s Ford had tried to build and sell a car based on increased safety with all kinds of safety features and options.

It was a massive disaster. The car was the Edsel which became a running joke for decades.

The good news is, Brembos are cheap. May not be the best, but better than most factory rotors.Or blow $4k on a set of Wilwoods.

230 Supposedly the steering column of the Corvair would impale you in a head on crash. The auto industry went crazy over collapsible columns after that. At the time, however, the column on the Corvair was no more dangerous than those on any other car.

The only real problem it had was the front suspension. Rather than having upper and lower A frames or some other parallelogram suspension system the axle pivoted on one point. It's not the best system but like other morons have said, if you drive sanely and properly inflate your tires it wouldn't cause a loss of control.

More likely built towards "cheap". Since American roads are on the average flatter and straighter than European roads, they used leaf springs and live axles up until the 80s, and still have live axles in some rear drive models even today. It was simply cheaper to do so, and using softer shocks and lighter springs was a cheap way to give a floaty soft ride.

They're going to hold another simple majority vote later. But apparently many freshmen weren't told ahead of time and Rep. McCarthy is in some trouble:



It was a specifically rough patch for Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy
(R-Calif.), who was the subject of much finger-pointing after the vote,
as he is charged with vote-counting. Erica Elliott, spokesman for
McCarthy, noted that most House Democrats voted against the bill,
“deny[ing] their own administration’s request for key weapons in the war
on terror.”
Other Republicans blamed Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith
(R-Texas) and Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.) for the debacle.
Sensenbrenner is a senior Judiciary Committee Republican.

267 The Alar scare killed the apple sales (at least where I am) for quite some time as well. My company had 3 truck loads headed east bound when the Alar scare hit. We ended up destroying three trailer loads of apples. They weren't even good for pig food. No one would take them.

268 More on the Patriot Act extension failure:

And a handful of the no-votes were freshmen who felt completely
uninformed by their leadership. Rep. Todd Rokita (R-Ind.), who voted for
the bill, said he “didn’t know anything about (the vote) until today.”
[...] Hoyer added, “I think they’re clearly going to have difficulty. When you
have their response to the State of the Union, and Paul Ryan being
their choice and then Michele Bachmann also gives one, they’re clearly
differences within their conference and they’re going to have to work it
out.”
Other Democrats were giddy Tuesday night at the defeat. They knocked
Republicans for not putting the bill through committee – something they
all but promised they’d do during the midterm campaign season. And
Hoyer’s office called it “another rough day for the new majority.”
Another Democratic aide put it more simply: “Governing 101: make sure
you have the votes. Governing 102: make sure you understand your own
members.”

Well, they too got caught for using the same procedure last year without getting enough votes. This was much closer, since they only lost by 7 votes, but (politically speaking) it was an unforced error. Now the Dems are talking-up the divide in the GOP when a majority of Tea Party members voted for the extension.

Apparently "don't do that" doesn't wok training people to drive.Several 3rd-gen RX-7s killed drivers and dealership employees during test drives.Rumor has it many of the last words went something like "boy, this thing isn't as fast as I thou..." followed by a mad 2-second ride across four lanes of traffic, through a school bus and into a tree.Turbo lag is also counter-intuitive. People just push the gas pedal harder and then BANG they die.In that case, also, don't do that and you'll be fine. Hell of a car in skilled hands.

299 A year ago, David Gilbert, who teaches automotive technology at Southern
Illinois University, told Henry Waxman that he found a problem with the
electronics in 3 hours.

Pretty much all non-trivial software systems for which no correctness proofs have been generated will have bugs of some sort...which is about 99.999999% of the software out in the field.

Generally, its not economical to generate correctness proofs, and very few software practitioners even understand how to do it, so it doesn't happen - even for the vast majority of what would be considered "life critical" systems.

Of course, generating a correctness proof for a piece of software makes the assumption that the underlying hardware it runs on would also be correct and errata free.

This makes it even harder since almost all microprocessors and their support circuitry have lists of known minor or major errata system designers have to work around, as well as potentially undiscovered errata that over time reveal themselves in the field as real life customer scenarios that go beyond test suites push limits designers never anticipated would happen.

303 Exactly, Purple. One of the car rags went out and bought a used Explorer equipped with original tires. Think it had 50 or 60K miles on it. They then put it on a test track and did panic stops from 30 MPH all the way up to 70 MPH. Guess what? That's right, nothing happened. The truck stopped straight as an arrow. Their final test, camera running, was to have the test driver panic stop from 70 and take his hands off the wheel. Yeah. Straight.as.an.arrow.
The media sucks. Toyotagotthe beating it deserved. Unless they slip back into favored corporation mode again, suspect they're in for some more. The acceleration issue "outed" Toyota for all the global recalls of millions of vehiclesthat had been transpiring for over ten years. These are mechanical recalls, not seatbelt failures or the result of low IQs..
