By Jayne O'Donnell and Rachel Huggins, USA TODAY
At least 131 Toyota owners report experiencing unintended acceleration after their recalled vehicles were repaired at dealerships, a USA TODAY review of federal records shows. Daily complaints — from three on Monday to 11 on March 5 — to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration come as Toyota continues to contend mechanical, and not electronics, issues are to blame.NHTSA and Toyota are analyzing data and vehicles to "assess whether the recall remedies are being applied correctly and whether they are able to prevent the problems they were designed to address," NHTSA said in a statement Tuesday. In two cases, NHTSA says, it appears improper repairs were made, but it is trying to determine whether the problem was human error or the fix itself.
