U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said he ‘misspoke’ today when he said owners of recalled Toyota Motor Corp. vehicles should stop driving them until the company fixes a defect causing sudden acceleration.
LaHood sought to clarify his remarks in comments to reporters after a congressional hearing. He said that if owners are in doubt, they should take their cars to the dealership.
In earlier comments to a House Appropriations panel hearing in Washington, LaHood advised drivers to �stop driving it and take it to a Toyota dealer.�
�What I said in there was obviously a misstatement,� LaHood told reporters. �If you own one of these cars, take it to the dealer. If you are in doubt, take it to the dealer and have them fix it.�

What politics and garbage! Sudden acceleration IS a big problem and all of us on the road with or without a Toyota would prefer cars that suddenly accelerate, without the driver hitting the accelerator, should be off the road.
MoshiachNow01,
Yes “Sudden acceleration IS a big problem” however its NOT the govt’s place to tell people to “NOT DRIVE THEM” as he said under oath.
Even you have to smell a rat here with how the govt is giddy over a problem with a Toyota.
