【on.cc專訊】 皇冠車行發表聲明，表示收到 Daihatsu 日本車廠通知，1999年至2000年出廠的 Daihatsu Atrai 7 軚盤安全氣囊系統內電線有可能出現短路，導致氣囊有機會自動彈出，需要進行回收。由於有關型號已出廠多年，相信部分已不再在路上行駛，估計涉及車輛不多於50部。

代理 Daihatsu 的皇冠車行表示，現階段積極透過運輸署聯絡車主，安排其座駕返回維修中心更換電線，目前未收到香港客戶的相關投訴或意外報告。

豐田更換 160萬輛車引擎油管
日本最大車廠豐田問題接踵而來，繼因油門和煞車系統失靈在全球回收 800萬輛車後，豐田昨（周二）宣佈在全球銷售共 160萬輛車可能漏油，須更換引擎油管， Camry、凌志 ES 350等暢銷車款都受影響。

愈來愈複雜
The unintended acceleration case of the second-generation Prius belonging to James Sikes now officially has an interesting backstory. Apparently, according to USAToday, Sikes' "case against Toyota is starting to look shaky." Why? Two reasons. First, and most important, is the technical argument. Toyota is saying that Sikes' Prius has a brake override system that should have slowed the car down in the situation Sikes has described to the media and to investigators. Also, looking at Audi's history with a similar problem back in the 1980s, it's often driver error that led to the acceleration, not a problem with the vehicles themselves.

Second, and only to consider possible motives for pretending something was wrong when there really wasn't, Sikes is apparently deep in debt according to financial records uncovered by Jalopnik. He has said repeatedly that he doesn't plan on suing Toyota, but he has retained a law firm.

As we said yesterday, there is no obvious explanation for why Sikes' Prius (and a similar model in New York a few days later) sped up and there's a case to be made that the hype is getting out of hand. Still, something happened, and the sooner we get the facts here, the better off we'll be. For now, we'll just have to file this under "Ongoing."

豐田回收維修後仍無故加速
(星島)2010年3月18日 星期四 14:00
日本    豐田汽車    公司旗下多款型號的汽車因為油門腳踏失靈而無故加速，該公司在全球進行大規模回收    及為車主進行維修後，非但未能平息這場風波，反而引發新的問題。美國    當局至今接獲超過100宗投訴，有車主聲稱他們的汽車進行了維修後，問題依然存在，像過往一樣會無故加速，擔心會產生危險甚至引致車禍。

　　美聯社記者訪問了一批受回收行動影響的豐田車主，發現自2月15日至今，有多達105宗此類投訴。在3月4日，美國國家高速公路安全局本來公布此類投訴個案只有60宗，但由那天起到現在，投訴個案突然急增至105宗，大幅上升了75%。

　　消息人士稱，那些車主是在網上或者透過國家高速公路安全局的熱線，進行投訴。由於車主毋須表明身份，因此那些投訴還未經過核實。

　　一些車主聲稱，他們的汽車完成了維修後數天，在街上行駛時又再出現無故加速的問題。

　　國家高速公路安全局的官員回覆記者查詢時表示，當局已經與提出投訴的車主聯絡，了解情況及進行調查。

　　豐田自去年底開始在全球回收了超過800萬輛汽車，免費為車主修理油門腳踏，事件對該公司的聲譽造成重大打擊。如果這些新的投訴個案屬實，對該公司來說無疑是雪上加霜

Toyota being sued by shareholders for lying about its business

Last Friday, Toyota's stock closed at $79.56. That represents a 12-percent drop in market capitalization. For those keeping track, that's a loss of $15 billion. Naturally, there are a number of none-too-pleased shareholders hanging on to their stock in the Japanese automaker.

As such, it comes as little surprise that law firm Murray, Frank & Sailer has filed a class-action lawsuit in U.S. District Court in California on behalf of any and all shareholders who purchased stock between Dec. 22, 2009 and Feb. 2, 2010. The suit contends that Toyota issued "materially false and misleading statements" and "failed to disclose ongoing safety issues and quality control problems with Toyota's automobiles," especially issues related to alleged cases of unintended acceleration.

Would shareholders that purchased stock in Toyota have done so if the automaker had taken a more pragmatic stance on the problems it was about to face? It would seem that's up for a judge to decide.

Peter Henning, a Wayne State University law professor cited by The Detroit News, points out that securities cases are notoriously difficult to prove. "You are going to have to prove knowledge among the corporate management. Unless something else emerges, it seems that Toyota didn't think that it would be the kind of problem that it turned out to be," said Henning.

A three-judge panel is set to meet on Thursday to consider this and all other impending class action suits against the beleaguered automaker. Until then, Toyota certainly has its hands full with potential headache-inducing litigation to consider.

花旗佬 性老屈！

日本豐田汽車同意，向因為汽車突然加速事故提出索償的美國車主，合共賠償最多14億美元，是美國史上涉及車輛故障的最大金額賠償案。法庭星期五會研究豐田提出的和解建議，決定是否接納。

豐田09年接獲多宗投訴，指車輛行駛時無故加速，導致車禍甚至傷亡，今次和解不包括傷者及死者家屬提出的索償。

豐田油電混合車Prius因為突然加速和煞車系統故障，當年回收了超過1千4百萬輛.
