Orange County sues Toyota

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas announced today that his office, along with other private attorneys, has filed suit against the U.S. sales arm of Toyota, alleging that the automaker has endangered the public with defective vehicles and engaged in deceptive business practices.

At a news conference, Rackauckas said his office will work with private attorneys from Robinson, Calcagnie and Robinson of Newport Beach in Orange County. He went on to say that since Toyota's office is in California his office has jurisdiction, and the private attorneys will be paid from any proceeds won in the suit.

The suit charges that Toyota knew about the defects in "selling and leasing hundreds of thousands of cars and trucks with defects that caused sudden unexpected and uncontrollable acceleration."
