I didn’t read the article here, because it’s Politico, but IIRC Toyota was exonerated on the acceleration issue a couple of years ago. I seem to remember it was operator oafishness.
Wonder when they’re going to shake down GM.

It’s not just the fine, either. There were three seperate (done at different times) recalls on my Toy. One to replace the accelerator pedal, one to replace the driver side floormat, and one last month to reprogram the computer to prevent acceleration (it’s fly by wire) if the brakes are applied.
I’d wager the recalls cost them big yen!
Toyota WAS exonerated.
This is nothing but a shakedown.
GM is safe for now.
They are a federal agency.
