San Diego personal injury attorneys are seeing a host of questions from concerned Toyota owners in light of the comments made by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood earlier this week.  LaHood advised, in testimony before the House Appropriations subcommittee this week, that owners of the recalled models of Toyota's cars should stop driving them. 

Indeed, his sentiment was echoed by personal injury attorneys.  In the UK, a leading lawyer urged owners of the recalled vehicles to stay off the road, or face possible legal liability if the product defect caused an accident. 

The recall, which was announced earlier this year, took 5.6 million vehicles off the road in the United States alone.  Toyota has been having issues with the brake systems and issued a recall last year, after a San Diego car accident resulted in the death of five people.
