The jack-booted union thugs ordered this and the Obama administation eagerly complied.
Wow. This is getting interesting...
Anything for a buck!
Don't think so....read that one of the suppliers that manufactured the possible faulty circuits and/or accelerator pedals IS a union shop....and that there may be corporate hanky-panky here...as Toyota is a non-union company.
Indeed, and this is NOT SMART, being Japan has just recently become the largest holder of our debt! Is this guy trying to start another WW???
What a bad joke this is. I have no doubt that almost all the accidents blamed on “sudden acceleration” were actually caused by driver error when drivers mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal when they intended to step on the brake. (The other very few accidents are probably caused by extremely rare defects in electronic components). The Audi 5000 was accused of the same problem back in the 80s and as far as I know Audi never found anything wrong with it and concluded that some drivers just didn’t know how to operate their vehicles. I would bet that Toyota knows that almost all of the accidents are caused by driver error but they’re following the long-run strategy that Audi took, which is not blaming drivers and letting the problem fade away over time. It would be a big mistake for Toyota to say what is the actual cause of almost all the crashes (driver error) because then Toyota would become the number 1 subject of late night jokes as Letterman and others joke about how Toyota blamed the drivers for its “defective cars.”
Over the long run, Toyota owners will continue to replace their vehicles with new Toyotas because they had a good experience as owners and Toyota will continue to prosper. I drove a Toyota for five years and had no problems with it, and I wouldn’t hesitate to jump into a Toyota and drive one right now. I doubt that this is a plot by GM or the UAW, but I would bet that the MSM is giving this more air time than it really deserves because Toyota factories are primarily located in Republican-controlled states.
I smell this as well.
