Ford, GM, Honda, ect... doesn't matter if it is import or American, they have all had recalls. Noone makes a perfect product. The reason Toyota is all over the news isn't because the government owns parts of GM and all, its because Toyota didn't handle the public relations good.

I honestly don't know how else they could have handled the public relations. There was a problem with their products, they found the problem and fixed it. If people don't know that you should put the car in neutral and pull over when it accelerates unknowingly, than that is user error.

It is like the chick who was on the news that her Lexus went 100mph for 6 miles or something. They showed her wearing flip flops while driving...no one caught attention to that did they.

Sam, you have much to learn grasshopper. When people panic, you don't always think logical.

I find it very hard to believe that the gas pedal gets stuck. It is also odd that all the vehicles assembled in Japan are not under the recall....hm..

Much to learn about what? If about how company's handle things, yes I do because I don't know business well. If it comes down to people, that too because I don't know how much of a retard one can be to not do anything in a situation like that.

Sam, I'm going to put u in a car that does the same thing that's occurring and see how you react. I'm not paying for the funeral though.

Do it, I've had a throttle sticking issue before. Popped it into neutral and pulled the pedal back, drove home.

Sounds like you need to clean your TB. I need to do my GTO for sure.
