Gov't: 34 deaths alleged in Toyotas since 2000 (AP)

FILE - In this June 5, 2009 file photo, Toyota workers assemble parts on 2010 Prius hybrid vehicles at Toyota Tsutsumi Plant in Toyota, central Japan. Assembly lines that run like clockwork. Supplies that arrive just in time. Dedicated workers trained to spot defects, churning out quality cars in the millions. Such are the trademarks of \'Toyota Way\' manufacturing. That\'s why the automaker\'s recent bungling over a spate of global recalls appears so pathetically out of character. Since October, Toyota has recalled 8.5 million vehicles around the world for accelerator, braking and floor-mat problems in the biggest recall in its seven-decade history. (AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi, File) AP - Complaints of deaths connected to sudden acceleration in Toyota vehicles have surged in recent weeks, with the alleged death toll reaching 34 since 2000, according to new consumer data gathered by the government.
