On April 5, 2010, NHTSA announced that it will seek the maximum possible penalty from Toyota – over $16 million. The government accused Toyota of a cover up. Under federal law, Toyota had five days to report problems with “sticking” gas pedals but instead waited months to take action. (Of course, this is separate and apart from the fact that there may be an internal electronic problem, not just “sticking” gas pedals.) Secretary LaHood blasted Toyota for knowingly hiding a dangerous defect. He accused Toyota of failing to take action to protect American consumers and drivers. This fine is the most the government could levy for the “sticking” gas pedals. Toyota also faces private lawsuits seeking many millions of dollars more. Should the fine be approved, it would represent the largest financial penalty ever imposed by the U.S. government on an automaker.
