No Electronic Problems With Toyota - We Told You So!

Mainstream Media Jump To Inaccurate Conclusions

By Mark Fulmer
Editor In Chief
The Auto Channel

Auto Central February 8, 2011; "Federal highway safety officials absolved the electronics in Toyota vehicles for the problems, and said driver error was to blame for most of the incidents."

Ever wonder why the world needs an independent automotive information resource?

Now you know.

From the very beginning, the entire Auto Channel editorial staff knew what it took Federal highway safety officials a year to conclude. How, you may ask? Simple. We asked the most knowledgeable source: the independent automotive journalists. These men and women drive more makes and models than anyone on planet Earth, with the intention of providing credible evaluative information to the public. Not one of them had experienced unintended acceleration in a Toyota, or knew of anyone else who had.

Maybe many of today's Washington Pundits, Politicians, Mainstream media, and Auto Channel pretenders need to reacquaint themselves with doing background research and get the collective heads out of their blogs, and their political agendas out of truth-seeking.

But until they do, you've always got us.

Old school. Skeptical. Unafraid to question and look behind the press releases.

You've always got TheAutoChannel.com, keep on Tach'n
