Like a Pesky Neighbor, State Farm Is There — Again
State Farm insurance warned U.S. regulators repeatedly of a rise in vehicle-accident claims 
involving Toyota vehicles and uninntended acceleration as far back as 2007, according to various media reports coming out of Washington Tuesday, a day before Toyota's top U.S. executive is scheduled to testify before the House oversight committee.
The nation's largest auto insurer saw an increase in reports of unwanted acceleration in Toyotas from its database of 40 million customers and told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NTHSA) in 2007, the company confirmed.
Interestingly, State Farm also was first to sound the alarm on the deadly rollovers of Ford Explorers with Firestone tires in 2000.
