A Phoenix Business Journal article on March 31 about an expected increase in lawsuits in Arizona included comments from Professor Betsy Grey.

In "Wave of Toyota lawsuits expected at Maricopa courts," reporter Mike Sunnucks quotes Grey as saying class-action and other lawsuits could mean trouble for Toyota. The car giant has recalled more than 7 million cars worldwide to fix reported problems with gas pedals sticking, which have resulted in accidents and incidents.

"I think the exposure for Toyota is unbelievable, in the billions of dollars," said Grey, predicting more financially based lawsuits against Toyota, which could include loss of value in cars and insurance-related costs.
