In recent years, major automakers like Toyota issued a series of recalls on millions of vehicles for problems with sudden unintended acceleration. While Toyota has maintained the issue is a result of floor pats, sticky pedals and driver error, NASA believes other factors may be responsible for the sudden acceleration problems. Investigators from the administration are currently looking at the existence of “tin whiskers,” or thin fibers that grow on tin and conduct electricity to unwanted places, to determine a cause of fatal accidents.

"It's not potentially dangerous; it's absolutely dangerous," said Sean Kane, founder and president of Safety Research & Strategies, a Massachusetts-based auto safety consulting firm. "If you talk to anyone in the field, they'll tell you it's dangerous."
