Toyota seeks to dispel fear of electronics flaw By Associated Press/ BostonHerald.com Tuesday, March 9, 2010 Toyota, dogged by millions of recalls and claims that it still has not fixed its safety problems, took its strongest step yet yesterday to silence critics who blame faulty electronics for runaway cars and trucks.       Toyota assembled a group of experts to refute studies by an Illinois professor who revved Toyota engines simply by short-circuiting the wiring. Toyota’s experts say the experiments were done under conditions that would never happen on the road.       The automaker maintained its assertion that simpler mechanical flaws were to blame.       “There isn’t a ghost issue out there,” said Kristen Tabar, an electronics general manager with Toyota’s technical center.
