Toyota is too insular, according to

DETROIT-Toyota Motor Corp is too insular and not feedback from clients do a good job of integrating or outside agencies in his car designs, according to a panel test last year after a series of safety recalls that companies set up.

Toyota set up the Panel last year after it million vehicles for safety deficiencies, including sticky accelerator pedal points out. U.S. Government testing has since noted, that the problems were caused not by electronics or software, but probably by ill-fitting floor mats or driver error.

The Panel structure, said the callbacks made problems in Toyota that the company, the security issues to identify and respond. Toyota displayed first customer complaints about sticky pedals with skepticism and defensive, the report said, and has an adversarial relationship with federal regulators. There were also poor communication between different regions, although they shared components on the vehicle.

Brian O'Neill, a panel member and former President of the Insurance Institute for highway safety, an insurance funded group leading car security checks, said data from distributors, customers, government agencies and other test, cumbersome and difficult to decipher the groups can be. But it is vital you pay attention to it and use it to improve possible defective track and design.

"I think Toyota is that now, but I don't think that they understood that at an early stage in Japan," O'Neill said Monday in a conference call with media. "It is to hear more from customers as filling out checklists."

O'Neill, said in 2001 Toyota got complaints about vibrations and other problems in their newly revised Camry. If the next-generation Camry came out five years later, there were similar complaints, the company not indicates change the production process, design or test after the first round of complaints.

The Panel recommended that executives who appoint responsible for setting up and the security performance targets and security handle Toyota, as she would have arisen in different markets.

Toyota says that it already some of the recommendations including naming chief safety officers in North America and Japan follow. It has extended the development of its vehicles to more tests.
