Expert commentary on accelerator issues with Toyota vehicles. CED Investigative Technologies has been involved in several accident reconstructions that involve claims of an accelerator potentially being the cause of a sudden or uncontrolled accleration. CED engineers have both the knowledge and expertise to investigate these accidents. On certain vehicles, modern technology can be used to download the vehicle's electronic "Black Box". Additionally, testing and a physical examination of the vehicle can determine the material condition of the vehicle's mechanical components. As a result of this expertise, CED has been retained for commentary on the current Toyota issue. For more information, please contact our media department at
