Toyota Motor Corp. and its U.S. subsidiaries agreed on February 14 to pay $29 million to resolve investigations by attorneys general in 29 states into whether it misled consumers about the safety of its vehicles. The investigations followed recalls of more than 10 million vehicles for defects associated with sudden acceleration. They focused on whether Toyota had misled consumers about safety problems in models including the Camry, Lexus, Tundra, Tacoma and Prius hybrid. New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa led the multistate investigations in cooperation with the attorneys general of Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, South Carolina and Washington.
