Toyota Motor Corp. said it hasn’t found evidence electronic throttle controls triggered unintended acceleration after its engineers and technicians studied more than 4,000 U.S. vehicles whose drivers made such complaints.
“Toyota has not found a single case in which electronics would lead to sudden unintended acceleration,” Steve St. Angelo, the company’s North American chief quality officer, said in a conference call yesterday. Toyota has investigated 4,200 individual acceleration-related complaints so far, he said.
