WASHINGTON (AP) - Toyota's president is telling a congressional hearing there is no problem with the electronics of Toyota vehicles despite suggestions from some safety experts that there is a connection to unwanted acceleration.
Akio Toyoda told the House oversight committee that he is "absolutely confident" that the electronics of Toyota's gas pedal systems are not the source of problems with a number of Toyota vehicles speeding out of control.
Toyota has recalled some 8 million vehicles over problems with gas pedals lodging on floor mats and pedals that can get stuck. The company has said it has not found evidence that electronics are a factor.
Still, Toyoda said the company is installing brake pedals that can override the gas pedal in case of unintended acceleration.
