Toyota Recall: Unexpected Veering Is The New Unintended Acceleration

Something we missed in our earlier post on the newest pain-in-Toyota's-wallet NHTSA recall investigation on the Toyota Corolla is that they're calling it "unexpected veering." Apparently it's when a driver thinks their Corolla can drive itself at 40MPH. Oy. More »
