豐田:汽車暴衝問題 恐無法靠召修解決

記者下的標題實在很聳動,這是真的嗎?有沒有先進可以提供原文的內容?
因為家中也有台小鴨,看了實在是皮皮挫
如果連原廠都沒有信心在召回中解決問題,那車主們要怎麼辦?
有人質疑是電子系統的問題,那是不是更換某個元件,例如行車電腦就行了?
或是加裝安全裝置,以手控停止為優先之類的...這些都做不到嗎?

豐田:汽車暴衝問題 恐無法靠召修解決

鉅亨網編譯吳國仲 綜合外電  2010-02-24 09:20:41

豐田汽車(7203-JP;TM-US)美國銷售總裁藍茲(Jim Lentz)周二出席國會聽證會時表示,全球召修800多萬輛汽車,恐怕無法「完全解決」不自主加速的原因。

藍茲向眾議院能源與商業委員會表示,目前召修的範圍是更換踏墊與油門踏板,但這種做法無法徹底減少暴衝的汽車數量。

藍茲強調:「我們必須保持警覺,持續調查所有相關的消費者申訴」。他也坦承,豐田過去在這方面的表現並不好。

接受議員質詢時,藍茲表示,最多7成車輛暴衝的申訴仍待查明原因。不過豐田官方強調,無證據顯示是電子系統出問題。

豐田汽車社長豐田章男將於周三出席公聽會,在預先公佈的聲明稿中,他將該車廠的品管問題歸咎於擴張太快的結果。

聲明稿中指出,豐田汽車追求營運成長的速度,超過了組織與員工的建立。他說,公司應當要保持警覺,並對造成行車安全的顧慮表達悔意。

Toyota exec says recall won't 'totally' fix problem
James E. Lentz, the automaker's top U.S. sales executive, tells a congressional panel that electronics have not been ruled out as the cause for unintended acceleration.

Reporting from Los Angeles and Washington - Under withering questioning from a congressional committee Tuesday, a top Toyota executive said that the automaker still hasn't ruled out electronics as a potential cause of sudden acceleration, acknowledging that fixing floor mats and sticking pedals would "not totally" solve the problem.

Speaking before the House Commerce and Energy Committee for over two hours, James E. Lentz, Toyota's top U.S. sales executive, apologized for what he said was poor communication inside the company and with its customers that led to the recall of nearly 10 million vehicles.

"The two fixes solve the problems that we know of," said Lentz, noting that the company was awaiting results of two studies of whether electronics in Toyota and Lexus vehicles could cause them to accelerate out of control.

His testimony came in the first of three congressional hearings called to investigate how Toyota and federal safety officials handled the sudden acceleration problem. Other Toyota officials, including Chief Executive Akio Toyoda, are scheduled to appear Wednesday and early next week.

In response to what he characterized as a communications breakdown between customers and company safety engineers, Lentz told the committee that the automaker would soon implement a "swat team" of specialists who would investigate vehicles with safety troubles within 24 hours.

In addition, the company plans to install an electronic program that allows the brake to override the throttle on a larger number of its vehicles than previously announced, but stopped short of promising to install it on all of the millions of Toyota vehicles already on the road.

His remarks about the potential causes goes to the heart of the congressional investigators' concern about the problem of sudden acceleration and how Toyota has responded to the safety crisis. The panel is also looking at how U.S. regulators from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration dealt with the company.

Did the recall solve the problem, asked committee Chairman Henry A. Waxman, (D-Beverly Hills).

"Not totally," Lentz replied, but adding that Toyota's recall would resolve the bulk of the issue.

In a day of hearings, the panel also heard from motorists forced to deal with the acceleration and safety experts who questioned whether the mechanical repairs would fix the problem.

In a tearful recounting, Rhonda Smith of Sevierville, Tenn., told the panel how her Lexus dangerously and suddenly sped up to 100 mph in 2006.

"I prayed for God to help me," Smith said as she recalled how she pumped the brakes. Finally, she called her husband. "I knew he could not help me, but I wanted to hear his voice one more time."

When the vehicle finally dropped to 35 mph, Smith said she was finally able to turn off the engine. Smith was especially caustic about the brakes, which the company said were designed to override the accelerator.

"This is a lie," she said.

"Shame on you, Toyota," Smith said.

"I'm embarrassed for what happened," Lentz said of Smith's ordeal. He said Toyota was putting in new brakes that could override the gas pedal.

Toyota President Toyoda will take responsibility for Toyota's safety woes and will apologize to any motorist who had to deal with sudden acceleration, according to his prepared remarks.

Toyoda is expected to offer condolences for an unintended acceleration incident that killed a San Diego family in late August. It was that accident that helped lead to the current congressional probes.

"I will do everything in my power to ensure that such a tragedy never happens again," Toyoda says in the prepared statement.

"My name is on every car. You have my personal commitment that Toyota will work vigorously and unceasingly to restore the trust of our customers," Toyoda says.

為了安全著想....趁現在有價趕快脫手吧.....不然等到不可收拾的時候.....想賣就來不及啦
擴充太快導致品質不良?
隱瞞瑕疵才是重點吧.不要牽拖~
別再發表這種文章了
因為根本沒意義

在台灣沒人會在意這種事情的
T牌還是會繼續大賣
沒錯!T牌還是賣的很好!我就是其愛用者嚕!
全世界不要的通通賣來台灣

台灣有死忠的fans用生命捍衛豐田這塊招牌

這些信徒初一十五應該都有膜拜豐田大神
算了,小鴨還是繼續開吧,開慢點順順開就是了
我們家也不是牛頭牌的擁護者,其實NISSAN、HONDA、MAZDA都有,以前還開過FORD
下次要換車時,應該會把TOYOTA先移除掉吧...在相關的疑慮車廠還沒解決清楚前
田汽車追求營運成長的速度,超過了組織與員工的建立
認同上面這句
為了趕產量又省成本,員工都不增加,組裝及檢查的時間相對減少
短期或許看不出來,長期下來,異音及脫落各方面的問題會慢慢浮現

主要是因為豐田沒把握已經找到真正出事的原因吧。
debug 最難的地方就是「找出真正的原因」,只要找到了,後續的解決方案只有選哪一個比較省錢的差別。

不過在台灣,消費者習慣逆來順受,也都認為反正還有99%的車都是好的,自己不會那麼倒楣。
所以豐田對台灣消費者也不必花什麼心思,現在最主要的精力的應該是怎麼應付美國官方。
