I am sure Toyota had a unintended acceleration problem and I am sure Toyota worked to minimize the NHTSA response to the complaints of unintended acceleration, BUT NHTSA had tons of complaints and was warned by State Farm Insurance that there was a problem. NHTSA decided to accept a half-baked Toyota explanation and let things slide. Only after the press jumped on Toyota did NHTSA go into ass covering mode and try to pretend they were shocked that there was a problem. If NHTSA had done it's job in 2007, there would have been no media feeding frenzy over Toyota UA this year. Ed |

Add to that all the Class Action Lawsuits that will prop up (that will pay the lawyers ~$23M, the pricnipals ~$4M, and everyone else gets a coupon for an oil change...) |

Were you complaining about these sorts of lawsuits when GM had to pay out millions as a result of the side saddle gas tank Class Action Lawsuits? There was never any statistical evidence to back up the claim that those tanks were more dangerous than frame mounted tanks, yet GM still had to pay million in civil judgements (like you say, millions to lawyers and discount coupons to truck owners - a CROCK).
