As I do from time to time, I am going to redirect you to Athens MidDay to check out my newest reporter blog.
This time I tackle the Toyota recalls - an issue that affects millions of Americans, my family included. The news came today about the fixes Toyota is doing to the models recalled for sticky accelerators. My parents currently drive a Camry under recall - no word yet on how they are faring with our local dealership and the fix.
I'm told the fix is simply placing a reinforced spring behind the accelerator to ensure that it returns to starting position when compressed. I'm no mechanic, though, so this could be far off or way more complicated than I just made it sound.
Regardless, my latest MidDay reporter's blog is called "Moving Forward" on Toyota and is a reflection of what could go down as one of the most frustrating stories I have ever had to cover. I got the run-around from most of my potential sources and the weather was working against me and fellow reporter Dan Kulin.
Check it out - and check right back here soon for some follow-ups!
