An estimated 89 deaths could have been related to the unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles in the last decade, according to the government.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration from 2000 to mid-May, it had received more than 6,200 complaints involving sudden acceleration in Toyotas.  89 deaths and 57 injuries over the sam period are included in the reports.  Previously, 52 deaths had been suspected of being connected to the problem.

More than eight million vehicles worldwide have been recalled by Toyota Motor and a record $16.4 million fine has been paid for its slow response to an accelerator pedal recall by the automaker.  Toyota is also facing many lawsuits.

Toyota said in a statement that it was “making an all-out effort to ensure our vehicles are safe, and we remain committed to investigating reported incidents of unintended acceleration in our vehicles quickly.”

Toyota said that it would “continue to work” with law enforcement and federal regulators and that many of the complaints in the database lacked sufficient detail that could help identify the cause of the accident.
