BOSTON -- Millions of Toyota vehicles are under recall because they may speed out of control, and now Team 5 Investigates is first to obtain a new report that shows the problems may just be the tip of the iceberg.

Auto safety expert Sean Kane released a new report that found there have been more than 2,200 complaints about Toyotas that unexpectedly speed up. Since 1999, he says, it has led to 815 crashes, 341 injuries and 19 deaths.

Most stunning is that half of those complaints are about acceleration problems in Toyotas that are not under the recall.

"There have been too many injuries, too many deaths and too many consumers left holding the bag financially with this problem," Kane said.

In a 180-page report, Kane slams Toyota for "inconsistencies," being "slow to accept responsibility" and "creating a safety hazard" after thousands of complaints about unintended sudden acceleration.

"Toyota has emphatically denied that there's any possibility that electronics are playing any role here. I think the evidence is too strong against that," Kane said.

Four people died in a crash in August in California. While Toyota issued its first recall in the fall, Kane said they've known about the problems since 1999.

"The problem is very widespread across a number of Toyota vehicles and years and models. Our concern is that some of the high-rated vehicles, for example the 2002 to 2006 Camrys, are not included in the recall," Kane said.

Toyota has blamed a variety of causes for sudden acceleration, including faulty floor mats, over sized gas pedals and sticky pedals. They recalled 5 million cars and sport utility vehicles and stopped making some of their most popular models.

Kane said they still haven't found all of the actual causes nor implemented remedies.

"The problems are there. They're real and they haven't been addressed. They haven't been policed by our government in a way that they should," Kane said.
