Toyota's Runaway Car Problem Fixed?and today Toyota said it had right Diane Toyota has has redesigned the gas pedals and the new plus under recall .

Toyoda whose problems have gone global the recall spreading out of China and Europe. All because of -- gas pedals that gets stuck and today Toyota said it had found a cause at least a part of the cause of the problem and Brian Ross is on that case -- That's right Diane Toyota -- -- has has redesigned the gas pedals and the new parts are being shipped for the 2.3 million cars plus under recall . But even the company's own suppliers says Toyota is far from done in solving the problem of its runaway carts. The Indiana based supplier for the gas -- CT yes says it began shipping in the -- -- from its plant in Canada this week they have. -- -- -- -- And that -- now being shipped them -- left their fixing that problem but the supplier says that won't really fix the problem entirely. The Toyota told that none of the serious accidents or deaths linked to runaway cars was caused by sticking gas pedals and they acknowledged -- that they did not cause any accidents or injuries. Related to that. Condition of the panel which means the mystery remains behind hundreds of reports of runaway toyotas. Like this Prius belonging to doctor Alan -- the Philadelphia. -- -- -- Have a nice guy -- was like driving on ice near the -- you can't stop. Doctor Austria Austria style parked on a dealer's lot is not on the recall list the sticky gas pedals . And He says there was no problem of the floor mats put it just took off on him. I don't wanna go -- -- few -- of David part of part of the I struggled to oncoming traffic. Doctor also says He just barely -- crashing. Now refuses to drive his car until Toyota finds the problem. I think the bulk of the problems that we're seeing have nothing to do with -- some kind of accelerator pedal. Or with the format they -- it has to do with other components in these vehicles most likely in the electronics part of the problem may also be around the cost cutting at Toyota . And less focused on followed. All lamented last year by the company's new president. We may have stretched more than we should have and that -- -- unable to capitalize on through this traditional strengths. And late today congress said -- able to get its own hearings and investigation of the issue. So let me understand this Toyota and the manufacturer of the separate manufacture of -- panel agreeing. Seem to be saying that the gas pedal sticking is not the only problem not the core problem. It's a patient with -- many ailments and the gas pedal may be one of them with the may be other problems that are much for serious with potentially more recalls to come. -
