someone in Congress is doing their [censored] job and asking the right questions
U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, chairman of a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee for investigations, has called Toyota to testify Feb. 25 about the company's two recalls.
In a statement, Stupak, a Menominee Democrat, said federal data showed that 19 deaths had been linked to sudden acceleration complaints in Toyotas over the past several years, more than all other automakers combined for the period. Stupak and committee members met with Toyota on Wednesday to review its handling of the cases, but left with questions.
"Failure to take every step possible to prevent future deaths or injury is simply unacceptable," Stupak said. "Our hearing will press for answers about the source of this accelerator defect and investigate whether adequate measures have been taken?"
