Toyota cleared of charges??

Doug's a good looking guy .

 

in my 2000 VW Jetta GLS. I was approaching stopped an intersection with stopped traffic. Stepped on the brakes and noticed the car was fighting me. Just kept wanting to go.

So I stomped on the brake pedal and looked down at my gas pedal. It was stuck on the top edge of the my cheapass floor mat!

I reached down and yanked the floor mat backwards, all good.

 

I will type this slllooowwwly so you can understand.
My post is bashing how congress and the media handled/demonized/ mis-represented the sticking acc. issues. I am not bashing the US, we ARE NOT an imperialist nation, we DO NOT take over natural resources of other nations, that was a statement about the current state of mind in the world of liberals.
As to the direct competition: Gm and Chrysler both manufacture cars and trucks. Toyota also manufactures cars and trucks. Do you see the direct competition link yet?????
The difference is that the gov. currently owns a large portion of GM and Chrysler. The gov. is involved in the operations of both corporations and the gov. needs to protect its investment/bailout value.
Rumors of widespread accelerator pedal issues, accusations of internal cover-ups and a demand to testify before congress did more to help GM and Chrysler than anything else the gov has done since the bailout.

 

Hahahaha

 

You disagree?

 

PeteH I totally agree with you. What I always point out is the timing of it all. The accidents in question happened way before the Gov. took over GM and way before Obama became President, but it only became a problem after the Gov. took control of GM. I don't know how you can’t see that it’s relevant.

 

The only fines were for not reporting to the government their initial review of the problem which was for the sticky accelerator and the mats. Those are still confirmed as issues, which resulted in the recall. So all this proves is that once Toyota was called out to do something about the issues, what they started doing was the right thing.

 

Oh , you're serious .

My bad , I thought you were joking .

Nevermind .
