Toyota fix in question amid complaints.
http://money.cnn.com/2010/03/03/autos/Toyota_complaints_after_fix/index.htm?hpt=T2

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Federal safety regulators said Wednesday they have received 10 complaints from drivers alleging sudden acceleration in Toyota vehicles that have already been repaired under the automaker's recent recall.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it has reached out to the consumers in question to gather more information about the complaints, which were not immediately verifiable.

"NHTSA has already started contacting consumers about these complaints to get to the bottom of the problem and to make sure Toyota is doing everything possible to make its vehicles safe," David Strickland, NHTSA's administrator, said in a prepared statement.

"If Toyota owners are still experiencing sudden acceleration incidents after taking their cars to the dealership, we want to know about it," he added.

1. "rigorously tested"
They claim to have rigorously tested the solutions. How can they have "rigorously tested" any solution, they just admitted there was a problem a few weeks ago. It takes months if not years of rigorously testing to develop changes in automotive engineering.

Anyone who believe anything Toyota has to say, I have a bridge I will sell them.
