In this Dec. 26, 2009 photo released by Roberts & Roberts law firm, a scene of a deadly crash of the 2008 Toyota Avalon taken by the Southlake Police Department is shown. In the Texas crash, four people died when their 2008 Avalon ripped through a fence, hit a tree and flipped into an icy pond.

The AP investigation found that Toyota has been inconsistent — and sometimes even contradictory — in revealing exactly what the devices record and don't record, including critical data about whether the brake or accelerator pedals were depressed at the time of a crash.
