Toyota Motor Corp. has fixed about 3 million U.S. autos for flaws linked to unintended acceleration and is rethinking how it explains new features to rebound from a recall crisis, the company’s regional quality chief said.
Mechanics have fixed sticky accelerators on 1.5 million vehicles and 1.3 million autos for floor mats that could jam the gas pedal, as well as adjusting brake software on 110,000 Priuses, he said.
“We’ve investigated over 500 concerns, and resolved about 2,000 different issues.”
Some complaints U.S. engineers reviewed recently resulted from customers’ unfamiliarity with features such as a radar cruise control that automatically adjusts speed based on traffic conditions, St. Angelo said.
