Toyota experienced a really hard year. This time bad news comes from the Latin American region. Brazil banned the sale of Toyota Corolla. Authorities in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais ordered the setting of the Corolla in its territory.

to find government of Minas Gerais, the Corolla have a problem in the gas pedals, as well as in the U.S. and other countries. Like the BBC, Friday (4/23/2010) Corolla cited at least there are nine that have experienced problems on the accelerator. Toyota said it happened because the carpet of a so that the gas pedal is installed. The incident, which began to flourish at the end of last year.

Although the Corolla is one of the world’s most popular model. At least more than 30 million Corolla has been sold since it first came out of the Toyota factory in the 1960s. Previously, Toyota fine of Rp 148 billion for the U.S. government to pay considered responding late to make problems in the car and call you back. The striker returned to the U.S. if you pull the Toyota Lexus GX 460 SUV had.

But even then, thanks to the intensive approaches to consumer recall or withdrawal of a great tragedy Toyota cars are not to believe that a Japanese automobile manufacturer. Toyota car sales also rose in several countries in March.

    NASA should simply point out that there need to be adequate “black boxes” on all new vehicles to keep track of all the “fly-by-wire” systems used to control safety & emissions systems.

    These “black box systems” are found in the airline industry, with latest models of jet transports recording over 700 channels of data at routinely twice/second, with the rate increased during periods of rapid change, for periods of 17-25 hours. These data are easily studied by third party computers and software.

    Toyota claims that they have never encountered any defects in their “electronics systems” and therefore they are confident that such defects do not exist and apparently this has played well enough with NHSTA but not with others. Toyota has tried to pass things off as being due to such things as gas pedal entrapment under floor mats or throttle stickiness which supposedly can be cured by inserting a magic metal shim. Then to make absolutely sure that they are covered, they install a “software fix” so that the applying the brake is sure to disengage the throttle if it depressed, while protesting that the brakes in the normal course of driving are strong enough to over-power the throttle every time anyway. Toyota has the position that they have never encountered UA (Unintended Acceleration) not due to (or at least explainable by) some simple mechanical factor as described. Many drivers report simultaneous UA and loss of brakes and this passed off by Toyota as driver error, with the driver mistakenly pressing down the gas pedal believing that he is pressing the brake pedal.

    UA with or without loss of brakes is supposedly rare but the figures are difficult to evaluate. There is the immediate problem of data collection and issues of self-reporting. Many drivers might not have recognized it for what it is, or simply failed to report it, thinking they would not be believed or fearing Toyota’s well rehearsed counter-attack on those reporting these defects. Many drivers experiencing such defects might be dead, having perished in single car accidents with the police declaring that they must have gone to sleep, or suffered from some medical condition, or merely been driving dangerously in the first place.

    Many drivers with vehicles supposedly repaired by Toyota report continuing problems with UA and loss of brakes. Many of these vehicles should be fitted with adequate “black box” systems, collecting data from the large numbers of sensors and command modules already on board. If something suspicious happens the driver could harvest the data immediately by down-loading it to a laptop computer or by swapping out a data card such as are used in digital cameras, without disturbing the data remaining in a large data buffer on board.

    Web cams are dirt cheap and widely available. One pointed toward the driver’s feet and tied in with the other data on the “black box” would clearly show where the driver was pressing with his feet.
