I have spoken with US transportation secretary, Ray LaHood, and given him my personal assurance that lines of communications with safety agencies and regulators will be kept open, that we will communicate more frequently and that we will be more vigilant in responding to those officials on all matters
We have also had complaints on the electronics so we will investigate the electronic component in these cars
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on Tuesday announced an immediate ban on text-messaging by drivers of commercial vehicles, including large trucks and buses. ‘Today we’re sending a strong message: We don’t merely expect you to share the road responsibly with other travelers. We require you to do...
What I meant to say and what I thought I said was if you own one of these cars or if you're in doubt, take it to the dealer and they're going to fix it
This is indeed a wonderful holiday gift and a major victory for any airline passenger who has ever been subjected to an unnecessary tarmac delay and has endured endless hours without food, water or adequate toilet facilities. We applaud the Obama administration and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood fo...
What I said there was obviously a misstatement ... What I meant to say, what I thought I said was, if you own one of these cars or if you're in doubt, take it to the dealer and they're going to fix it.
During a summit in Fort Worth, Texas, Transportation chief Ray LaHood predicted the federal government's gas tax of 18.4 cents per gallon would not be enough to offset the nearly $500-million gap between how much revenue is available and how much money the department hopes to receive next year.
What I said in (the House hearing) was obviously a misstatement ... If you are in doubt, take it to a dealer.
I want to encourage owners of any recalled Toyota models to contact their local dealer and get their vehicles fixed as soon as possible.
My advice is, if anybody owns one of these vehicles, stop driving it, take it to the Toyota dealer because they believe they have the fix for it.
We need to fix the problem so people don’t have to worry about disengaging the engine or slamming the brakes on or put it in neutral
Maybe they were a little safety deaf.
They should have taken it seriously from the very beginning when we first started discussing it with them
Any region that got money had their act together
Georgia doesn’t have it’s act together. The state legislature doesn’t want to put money in for high-speed rail
This is a big deal, this is a big safety issue
Travelers should not have to pay for toiletries or other necessities while they wait for baggage misplaced by airlines
Toyota has done the right thing by providing a remedy for this serious safety issue
President Obama's budget builds on an historic first year for this Department of Transportation
The traveling public has to be confident that airlines are following important safety rules ... When they are not operating to the highest levels of safety, they are subject to stiff fines.
We now have, in our appropriation bill signed by President Obama, an additional $2.5 billion ... We will work with regions on how to spend money and Youngstown is welcome to become a part of the plan.
We were the ones that really met with Toyota, our department, our safety folks, and told them, 'You've got to do the recall.'
The truth is, the reason Toyota decided to do the recall and to stop manufacturing is because we asked them to
We’ll take responsibility if something should have occurred that didn’t. I don’t know if that’s the case, but we’re doing a lot of reviews right now.
