If you have watched the news, you probably know about the NHTSA/NASA study that will be conducted on the Toyota electronic throttle system. In response to the publication of the upcoming extensive testing, Steve St. Angelo, who is Toyotas Chief Quality Officer for North America has been quoted:

"Toyota Welcomes the findings of Nasa and NHTSA regarding our Electronc Throttle Control System with intelligence (ETCS-I) and we appreciate the thoroughness of their review. We believe this rigorous scientific analysis by some of America's foremost engineers should further reinforce confidence in the safety of Toyota and Lexus vehicles. We hope this important study will help put to rest unsupported speculation about Toyota's ETCS-I, which is well-designed and well-tested to ensure that a real world, un-commanded acceleration of the vehicle cannot occur."

"We will continue to develop and equip Toyota and Lexus vehicles with industry-leading safety technologies, including many based on breakthroughs in sophisticated electronics systems. We will also continue to cooperate fully with NHTSA and respected outside experts in order to help ensure that our customers have the utmost confidence in the safety and reliability of our vehicles. Everyone at Toyota - all 30,000 of our team members in the United States and the many thousands of Americans at our dealers and suppliers across the country - is focused on listening to our customers and constantly improving our products and service."

We at Hatch Toyota would like to get behind this statement. We have faith in our product and welcome an extensive study so our valued customers can feel safe driving off of our lot.
We will continue to keep you updated on any other important information pertaining to you the customers, safety.
