But Toyota has to pay $1billion dollars for an IMAGINARY ‘sudden acceleration’ problem, made most notably famous by a guy who claimed he could not stop his car and had to have a police cruiser pull in front of him and brake for him...
(later analysis proved he was holding down the accelrator and brake at the same time- he was never charged with any crime)
Yep, $1.2B is a very hefty penalty and this problem with GM went on for many more years with loss of life, injuries and much property damage.
