UPDATE 7/15/10 @ 2:55 p.m.
NEW YORK (AP) -- A Toyota spokesman says the automaker doesn't plan to release the results of its probe into complaints of unintended acceleration until the government finishes its own investigations.
Toyota Motor Corp. spokesman Mike Michels says the carmaker's examination of more than 2,000 complaints of surging cars is far from complete. Several government agencies, including NASA and the Department of Transportation, are also conducting their own probes into complaints of unintended acceleration.
Michels says the automaker has found a number of causes for unintended acceleration so far, including misplaced floormats, sticking gas pedals and driver error in some cases.
ORIGINAL STORY
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- A West Virginia lawyer is among those appointed by a federal judge to represent hundreds of consumers nationwide suing automaker giant Toyota.
Ben Bailey is one of nine lawyers assigned to pursue economical losses claims stemming from sudden acceleration problems in Toyota vehicles.
Hundreds of lawsuits against the automaker have been consolidated in federal court in California. U.S. District Judge James Selma named Bailey to the panel Friday. Another panel will handle personnel injury claims.
While the massive global recall of Toyota vehicles started late last year, Bailey and the Charleston-based Bailey & Glassier firm has pursued sudden-acceleration claims against the automaker since 2008.
Aiding Bailey will be firm lawyer Eric Snider.
