- Congressional Hearings on Toyota Recall Begin
Toyota as both a brand and a company has come under fire in recent weeks given the enormous recalls initiated on several different models that the company manufactures. The main reason for the recall was a serious problem with the accelerator pedals sticking in an improper position while the vehicle was in operation. This sticking of the accelerator pedal led to sudden and sometimes uncontrollable acceleration.
Such a defect clearly creates an instantly dangerous situation for any unsuspecting driver. In response to this news, Toyota recall lawyersfrom all over the United States have been getting involved, and today marked the beginning of Congressional hearings in regards to the Toyota recall issue.
The Reason for the Toyota Recall Congressional Hearing
Congress tends to get involved with issues that are seen as critically important to the American public at large, and the recent series of Toyota recalls would certainly qualify as such. Overall, more than 8 million vehicles have been affected by this Toyota recall, and the models affected include:
- 2005-2010 Avalon
- 2007-2010 Camry
- 2009-2010 Corolla
- 2008-2010 Highlander
- 2009-2010 Matrix
- 2004-2009 Prius
- 2010 Prius
- 2009-2010 RAV4
- 2008-2010 Sequoia
- 2005-2010 Tacoma
- 2007-2010 Tundra
- 2009-2010 VENZA
All of these models were subject to the Toyota recall because of the sticking accelerator pedal problem except for the 2010 Prius recall. This recall was initiated because of serious problems with the braking systems on the 2010 Prius.
Initial Findings in the Toyota Recall Congressional Hearings
The first day of the hearings concerning the Toyota recall have already led to the revelation of important facts, including:
- Toyota officials stated that the company was growing too quickly to properly manage every model as a reason for the problems that were attached to the models affected by the Toyota recall.
- Congress uncovered statements in internal Toyota documents that praised Toyota for saving approximately $100 million by avoiding a more extensive and more costly Toyota recall.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!
