According to Toyota Motor Corp., they have found no problems or explanations, as to why James Sike’s Toyota Prius sped out of control on a California Highway. After extensive testing, a Toyota spokesman told the public that Sikes's story did not match up with that of their findings. Although, the spokesman did not say Sikes staged a hoax, he made it clear that it does not mean it was Toyotas fault. Sikes could not be reached for a comment, however; Toyota did go into detail that they did not find any electrical problems nor could they replicate Sike’s accident with the Toyota. I found this story particular interesting, seeing as the motor corp. GM has had many problems with their vehicles in the past as well as other auto-makers. Though, Toyota is taking a large amount of heat for recent incidents. Whoever may be at fault, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has made it clear that we may never know the problem of James Sikes Prius.
