Court evidence has shown that in 2006, Toyota technicians was actually able to duplicate the sudden acceleration problem. Toyota in return offer those owners a buy back option in exchange for the owners to sign a confidentiality agreements that prevented them from speaking publicly about the issues they encountered.

this is why we need loser pays style lawsuits. This would put a stop to the BS crap lawsuits and accusations. We are literally the only country in the world that does not have loser pays. Guess what results, we have the most frivolous lawsuits anywhere.

NO i would sue them because my car value is dropping dramatically because they are not handling the cases as they are suppose to. On top of that they should of never did things under the table, if you know there is a problem FIX it don't cut corners. For instance the valve spring recall they knew about it back in 2008!!!!! they only recalled the cars in 2010 of late september. What does that state you? look at hyndai, they recalling sonata for a bad door latch the car just started to sell like a month ago. Compare and contrast see for you're self how idiotic toyota is for bulding a very good name and taking it to the dumster.

If the prices were dropping more rapidly than normal, I would probably own an IS350 again. My friend is looking for a 2005 4Runner 4WD, the prices seem high to me

The US is a litigious society. I can't see that really changing in the future.

They purchased back 2 vehicles total, in December 2009 and mid 2010.
2 cars.
2 vehicles.
Half of the media is purposely avoiding to mention how many vehicles were in question.
It is not Toyota technicians but dealer mechanics that reported the issue, Toyota purchased vehicles back to investigate and could never find anything wrong with them.

NHTSA spokeswoman Olivia Alair said the agency first received Toyota technicians' reports earlier this year "as part of our ongoing investigation of unintended acceleration, but we didn't receive complaints directly from the consumers."
The new charges are part of a 1,056-page document filed Wednesday as part of a class-action case against the Japanese automaker.
Toyota said in a statement that it repurchased two vehicles for further engineering analysis. However, it said that technical specialists and engineers were unable to duplicate the condition.
"As part of our commitment to investigate acceleration concerns, we have voluntarily repurchased other vehicles," said Brian Lyons, a Toyota spokesman. "The repurchase was not mandatory or directed through an arbitration or court process."
More than 200 lawsuits filed against Toyota after the automaker recalled millions of vehicles because of acceleration problems have been consolidated before U.S. District Judge James Selna in Santa Ana, Calif.

Nothing is said in reports about this.
Of course not.
