Weve all heard of the massive Toyota recall regarding
the accelerator pedals, but it seems that they arent
the only automaker that is getting plagued by the
problem.
It was recently announced that Ford will be
stopping production altogether of their Transit in China
due to the same problem. You may be thinking this is
quite the coincidence but it seems that Ford actually
gets the accelerator pedals from the same supplier that
Toyota does.
CTS Corporation’s facilities in China were making accelerator pedals for Japanese car manufacturers. You can see the press releases on CTS website.
Here is one of them:

Some of the press releases have dates. Others do not. You can see that China does make the accelerators for CTS. The issue has not been explored at all.
“If they don’t crash due to inferior materials, I’m sure passengers would be finished off by a thick coat of lead based paint.”
LOL, good one.
What President opened the first major trade with China after the Nixon era? ........
Here is the story Rush was talking about today about the Unions pressuring Toyota last week:

Send me a finical statement in
six months. It would be worth a good laugh.
