[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 910879, member: 52972"] KL, Not true! I think both Ford and Firestone are to blame. However Ford was very sucessfull in deflecting nearly all the blame onto Firestone. I do feel that Firestone had a problem with the tires because tires should not come apart because of a slightly lower tire pressure, but Ford ignored Firestone's recommendation to run a higher tire pressure. But it does not matter who is at fault or what brand of vehicle you prefer. The point was to show that it is the anatomy of a safety recall when the auto manufacturer first ignores the problem, then claims there is nothing wrong, to blaming a supplier, until they eventually have a recall. The point is that all auto companies do the same thing and this Toyota recall is not different than any other recalls be if from Ford, Firestone, GM, Chrysler, Honda, etc Hell, some auto companies have had recalls for safety related problems, and fixed cars and continued to claim that there was nothing wrong with them, or that the actual number of defective cars was so small that the odds of you getting a defective vehicle were so small, etc. Again, they faulsly try to minimize the problem, or put some kind of spin on the situation as to make them look like the good guys and our safety is in their best interest. They all want to make safer, better quality cars, until there is a problem, and then it's no longer a safety issue, it's a money issue !! TJR, Yes, I believe you are right about trying to convince people to think outside of the box and look at things from a different perspective rather than always seeing just what's inside the 4 coners of their prejudicial heads... :btddhorse: ...Rich [/QUOTE]
