FLINT, Mich. -- Toyota is fighting to keep two executives out of a Michigan law office.

Guadalupe Alberto’s family said she was killed in an April 2008 crash when her Camry suddenly accelerated.

Lilia Alberto said her mother was a former General Motors Corp. employee, who was driving her 2005 Camry on a side street in Flint when it jumped up to 80 mph, hit some rocks, went airborne and his a tree 6 feet up.

Guadalupe Alberto was killed instantly.

Lilia Alberto has filed a lawsuit against Toyota on behalf of her mother.

“That’s what we want to prevent others from thinking, that Toyota’s perfect. They’re not,” she said.

The family’s attorney had asked that Toyota’s President of American Operations Jim Lentz and his Chief Operating Officer Yoshimi Inaba testify at a hearing Thursday about what they knew about vehicle acceleration problems

A Flint judge approved the deposition of the two on Monday, but an appeals court issued an order late Wednesday putting it on hold.

Lilia Alberto said she’s angry at the automaker.

‘What are they waiting for? More deaths to happen? And why don’t they recall the 2005 Camry?” she said. “That’s the car my mother got killed in and it’s not on the recall list.”

A representative for Toyota said the family’s attorneys do not need to hear from the executives, and declined any further comment.

Since the fall, Toyota has recalled some 8.5 million vehicles worldwide -- more than 6 million in the United States -- because of acceleration problems and braking flaws. Regulators have linked 52 deaths to crashes allegedly caused by accelerator problems. The recalls were the subject of three recent congressional hearings.

Toyota's sales fell 9 percent in February, the first full month after it stopped sales of some models because of safety issues.
