March 3 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. regulators are contacting Toyota Motor Corp. vehicle owners who reported unintended acceleration after their vehicles were repaired under the automaker’s recalls.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has started getting in touch with consumers about the complaints, which were posted yesterday on the agency’s Web site, NHTSA Administrator David Strickland said today in an e-mailed statement.

“If Toyota owners are still experiencing sudden acceleration incidents after taking their cars to the dealership, we want to know about it,” Strickland said in the statement.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Transportation Department is hearing from some Toyota owners who say they are still having trouble with unintended acceleration after their recalled cars were repaired.

David Strickland, the administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, says the agency is contacting these consumers to find out what's happening and make sure Toyota is doing everything possible to make its vehicles safe.

Strickland says in a statement that if owners are still experiencing sudden acceleration after taking their cars to the dealership, "we want to know about it."

So far, the government has received a limited number of acceleration complaints from the Toyota owners whose floor mats or gas pedals already have been fixed. Toyota recalled more than 8 million vehicles.
