FILE - In this June 5, 2009 file photo, Toyota workers assemble parts on 2010 Prius hybrid vehicles at Toyota Tsutsumi Plant in Toyota, central Japan. Assembly lines that run like clockwork.

(AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi, File)AP - Complaints of deaths connected to sudden acceleration in Toyota vehicles have surged in recent weeks, with the alleged death toll reaching 34 since 2000, according to new consumer data gathered by the government.
