5．Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before Congress，the head of the world's largest automaker wasn't leaving his problems behind．
Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York．The company is now being investigated．Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled．The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses．
Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits．A new hearing will be conducted．And the cost to Toyota's reputation is only now starting．
Despite back-to-back hearings this week，left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden，unintended accelerations will be fixed．
Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock，but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle's electronic systems．
Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference（油門踏板故障）or sticky gas pedals（剎車）．Outside experts have suggested electronic problems．
House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda，the grandson of the company's founder．
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration（NHTSA）is seeking records on Toyota's recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults．NHTSA also continues to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model．
Toyota has recalled 8.5million cars，more than 6million of them in the United States．
It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars．
Toyota's January sales already fell 16percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last year's bad results．Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales，due out next week，to be down 30percent to 40．Toyota's sales problem could continue beyond that．
It will take some time to feel the full effect of this，he said．
