In a report from Just-Auto that AutoBlog then further investigated, it seems like Toyota’s own Public Relations arm was the source for The Wall Street Journal‘s report earlier this week, which said that the DOT’s investigation found drivers at fault for incidents of unintended acceleration. Remember that “grain of salt” I was taking with the original report? Looks like something was fishy after all. Keep in mind that the NHTSA said that it was still months away from finishing its own investigation. Stay tuned for updates as they become available.
