Toyota exec to answer questions on Digg

Toyota’s recall crisis has left consumers uncertain, and to try to address that, a top executive will answer questions on the social-media Web site Digg today at 5 p.m. Eastern.

Jim Lentz, president and COO of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., will do a “Digg Dialogg” based on questions submitted by users.

Lentz’s Web appearance follows on the heels of his Today show interview last week.

Toyota is recalling millions of vehicles for floor-mat and pedal problems that could cause unintended acceleration. Separately, the 2010 Toyota Prius hybrid also appears likely to be recalled this week for a potential braking problem.
