Toyota Unintended Acceleration Settlement
Toyota unintended acceleration settlement providing compensation and repairs for affected vehicle owners.
Settlement Overview
This settlement resolves claims related to alleged sudden unintended acceleration issues in certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles. The lawsuit claimed that specific models had defects in the electronic throttle control system that could cause vehicles to accelerate unexpectedly. Under the settlement, owners and lessees of affected vehicles are eligible for compensation including cash payments, vehicle repairs, and extended warranty coverage. The settlement covers multiple model years and vehicle types across the Toyota and Lexus brands.
Who Is Eligible?
Current and former owners and lessees of eligible Toyota and Lexus vehicles from specified model years are eligible. Eligible models include certain Camry, Corolla, Matrix, Avalon, Prius, Highlander, Lexus ES, Lexus IS, and other models. You must have owned or leased the vehicle during the class period. Check the settlement website's VIN lookup tool to confirm your vehicle's eligibility.
How to File a Claim
Visit the settlement website and enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to check eligibility. Complete the online claim form with your ownership information and contact details. You can choose between cash payment options or vehicle modifications depending on your vehicle model. The process takes approximately 10-15 minutes. Paper claim forms available by mail request.
Documentation Requirements
For cash payments, proof of ownership or lease is required such as vehicle registration, title, or lease agreement. For vehicle remediation, the VIN verification is typically sufficient. If claiming enhanced compensation for diminished vehicle value, supporting documentation such as trade-in offers or appraisals may strengthen your claim.
