U.S. had to force Toyota into safety recall
It took "an enormous effort" to get Toyota to recall vehicles prone to sudden acceleration, according to U S transportation secretary Ray LaHood.
"We're not finished with Toyota and are continuing to review possible defects and monitor the implementation of the recalls." He was likely referring to a concern over possible electronic cause- a subject of a future blog.
Also, the subject of a future blog is a problem with the Prius braking/wheel system which will likely be developing in the press.
LaHood told the Associated Press Toyota was "a little safety deaf." More: Detroit Free Press John Feroleto

Massive Toyota recall- questionable floor plan design
As reported in the New York Times the NHTSA is critical of the Toyota Motor Corp. charging it released misleading information about an investigation into problems with stuck gas pedals that led a huge Toyota recall.
Toyota suggests floor mats are the problem, but according to the NHTSA ''does not correct the underlying defect in the vehicles involving the potential for entrapment of the accelerator by floor mats, which is related to accelerator and floor pan design.'' John Feroleto
