I'm not sure why the bad stigma is being attached to Toyota since it wasn't their part. It was a third party part supplier that made the pedal. They were also put into Ford trucks in China. Yes, Toyota could have done tests on the part themselves, but they put their trust in the the other company, that tested and passed the pedal.
Now Honda is recalling over 400,000 vehicles over an issue.
I remember saying to a friend awhile ago when Ford, GM, and Chrysler were having trouble. I said you watch... When Ford, GM, and Chrysler start doing better, the other big brands will start to have trouble. Now they are. It seems to be a circle.
The company that supplied the pedals to Toyota, also supply parts to Nissan, Ford, Honda etc. They just have a different design. So I blame the company that built the pedal, not Toyota.
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
