Скачать или смотреть Runaway Cars: Toyota's acceleration problem killed more than 80 and cost the company $2.3 Billion

Between 2009 and 2015, Toyota faced a crisis that threatened to destroy its reputation for quality. "Sudden Unintended Acceleration" became a household term, but the story behind the headlines is even more disturbing.

While Toyota initially blamed driver error and loose floor mats, federal investigators found evidence of "sticky pedals" and a systematic effort to hide safety defects from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Key Topics Covered:

The Catalyst: The Mark Saylor Lexus ES 350 crash.

The Cover-Up: How Toyota concealed the "Sticky Pedal" defect (CTS Pedals) while negotiating limited recalls.

The Investigation: NASA and NHTSA's involvement in testing the Electronic Throttle Control System.

The Verdict: Attorney General Eric Holder's blistering statement and the historic $1.2 billion fine.

Was it really just the floor mats? Or was it a corporate failure to prioritize safety over profit? Watch the full timeline of the Toyota Acceleration Scandal.
