The agency investigated sudden acceleration reports but didn't find enough evidence to force a recall, Administrator David Strickland tells a House subcommittee.

Rebuffing criticism of slow action and underfunded efforts, the head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said his agency acted properly in investigating complaints about sudden acceleration problems in Toyota vehicles and has enough money and staff to oversee the auto industry.
