In response to pressure from environmental groups, Toyota issued a statement on Friday distancing the automaker from the Chamber's opposition to climate change legislation.
"Toyota is a member of a wide array of groups, but none has our full proxy," wrote Toyota executive Josephine Cooper. "Our association with any one of them does not signify that we agree with all of their policies."
Politico reported Friday that Toyota had been "inundated with calls and emails" from Prius owners upset about the firm's Chamber membership.
Chamber president Tom Donohue has complained about the "orchestrated pressure campaign" to get businesses to defect from the uber lobbying group.
