The NHTSA releases the new safety rating system – Hyundai and BMW rate big
The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration have enhanced the 5-Star Safety rating system for new vehicles. “More Stars equal Safer Cars,” says U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. NHTSA is rating 24 passenger cars, 20 sport utility vehicles, two vans and nine pickups for the 2011 year under the improved system. The rating process evaluates vehicles in three areas – frontal crash, roll over resistance and side crash. They have implemented the use of Female crash test dummies for the first time and are including side-pole testing and crash prevention technologies such as lane-departure warning and electronic stability control to their evaluation. Due to the fact that the new standards for rating are more rigorous, not all vehicles previously rated at 5 stars will remain at 5 stars. In fact, the only two vehicles to obtain the new overall 5 star rating were the 2011 BMW 5-Series and the 2011 (Later Release) Hyundai Sonata.

Toyota Recall Reports coming in –
Driver Error?
The investigation is still under way, however, early findings are pointing at human error. Toyota is not finding any malfunction in the electronics to be blamed for the acceleration. In fact, in most cases it appears to have been the driver mistakenly pressing the gas instead of the brake pedal!

Black Bear vs Toyota Corolla
If you have gone camping you probably followed the rule that you keep your food locked up and away from your immediate campsite. This is supposed to keep you from running into unwelcome guests such as bears or other wildlife residents. Well, for the Story family of Larkspur, Colorado leaving a peanut butter sandwich in their Toyota Corolla was enough to attract a very curious and apparently hungry bear. The very large, adult black bear not only stopped in for a snack but decided a joy ride would be fun also.
