[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 910870, member: 52972"] KL, Obviously, just to aggravate you, without even knowing in advance. The real reason I posted was to show that the media is blowing the whole Toyota recall issue out of proportion, and everybody is now on a Toyota bashing binge. Now Congress is involved wanting to know the usual who knew what, and when did they know it. I wonder what the reaction would be if it was Ford who had the sticking gas pedal, or the slow brakes on some of their vehicles? It's only happening because Toyota is one of the top selling brands in the USA if not the world, and they have strong reputation for building safe, quality cars. People just seem to want to kick the big guy when get knocked down off of the perch we set them on! While the media went after the Ford vs Firestone fiasco, they did not do so with the same venom as they are now doing to Toyota. Why didn't Congress call Ford and Firestone to testify as to who knew what and when did they know it? Ford paid to have the Firestone tires removed from their Vehicles and that made it look like Firestone was the bad guy. Ford was the one ultimately responsible for the Explorer roll overs but they were able to divert the blame to Firestone. Toyota is blaming their sticking gas pedals on the vendor who supplies the pedal units, when the suplier claims there is nothing wrong with the pedals...Ultimately Toyota is still the responsible party. At least they stepped up to the plate and stopped the sale and production of all affected vehicles....Something Ford, GM, or Chrysler would likely never do. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
