<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/toyota/">Toyota</a> has sent out nearly 10 million recall notices for its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/toyota_recall/guide">unintended acceleration problem</a>, and while dealers are working hard to install new equipment into customer cars, some consumers report that the current fix may not be enough to completely solve the unintended acceleration problem. In fact, NHTSA has received seven complaints in the past two weeks from Toyota owners saying that even after the repairs, the cars still experienced sudden acceleration issues.<br />
<br />
The <em>Los Angeles Times</em> reports that many experts feel the gas pedal, floor mat and brake override fixes aren't enough, as they don't deal with the actual root of the problem. Still, we'll have to take these new complaints with a grain of salt until NHTSA actually verifies that the allegations are, in fact, true. <br />
