Everyone knows that the cars don't do it all the time if they did many more american's would be dead. Toyota investigators have a motive to not find anything wrong.

Jeannemarie Champion Author Las Vegas Posts:24,737 Points:1,641,625 Joined:Aug 2005	Message Posted: Mar 15, 2010 1:03:55 AM Ignore Jeannemarie Report Abuse It is more likely that he was hoping to get some money to pay his bills by suing Toyota. Dirty pool.

However, I think this is more of a publicity stunt than anything else. I hope they fine the heck out of the guy.
