Looks like Toyota’s malfunction nightmare isn’t over quite yet.

An article with the Detroit Free Press reported that a California judge will not throw out lawsuits that Toyota hoped would disappear. These lawsuits have been brought on by Toyota owners that claim last year’s “sudden-acceleration defects” caused the car’s worth to drop significantly. Toyota is adamant in their fight against these lawsuits, claiming that the problems were based on, “driver error, faulty floor mats and sticky accelerator pedals for the unintended acceleration.” There are reportedly over 24 lawsuits that Toyota’s attorneys attempted to have dismissed in the California court system.

There are also several lawsuits pending for those, “…that seek compensation for injury and death because of sudden acceleration.” Toyota lawyers are also attempting to get rid of these lawsuits are well.

Lawsuits are also pending for those seeking compensation due to the brake defects in the Prius model.

Our auto shipper companies hope these legalities are solved fairly and with the consumers’ best interests kept in mind.
