In the middle of this scrum is Bob Carter, head of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. He's attempting to answer the tidal wave of questions from reporters regarding Toyota's "issues" after the company's press conference here in Chicago.
During the press conference, Carter jumped right into the subject, saying that his dealers were working around the clock to fix the sticky pedal issue. "Our dealers are currently fixing cars at a rate of 50,000 cars per day," Carter said.
Carter even acknowledged that Toyota considered foregoing today's press conference to focus on the company's problems. Instead, he came out, addressed the fixes and moved on to the refreshed 2011 Avalon, noting that "customers always want to see new products, so we're continuing to deliver."
