A Californian prosecutor has filed a civil lawsuit against Toyota, accusing the Japanese car maker of intentionally hiding defects. "We'll be alleging in court on behalf of the people of Orange County that Toyota knowingly sold cars and trucks with defects that caused Toyotas to accelerate suddenly and uncontrollably," said Orange Country District Attorney Tony Rackauckas.
"We intend to prove that Toyota ignored, omitted, obfuscated and misrepresented the evidence that was amassing for many years regarding serious safety defects in their cars."
