AutoObserver Reader Favorites: Toyota Complaints and Sales

Reader traffic on AutoObserver soared this past week, with Toyota stories being the most read.

An Edmunds.com analysis of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) databases that illustrated Toyota's lead in unintended acceleration complaints filed by consumers before and after its recent recalls was this week's most-read post. The post had double the normal traffic of the usual weekly top-read AutoObserver post.

It was followed closely by the Edmunds.com forecast of the impact of Toyota's woes on its February sales and market share.

In that same vein, a couple of AutoObserver posts featuring Edmunds.com's analysis of February sales, including Ford's historic topping of GM and other notable numbers from February sales were widely read.

So, too, was a post that wrapped up last week's congressional hearings on Toyota that failed to answer the question of whether today's cars are safe, especially when it comes to unintended acceleration. -- Michelle Krebs, Senior Analyst and Editor at Large
