I just think it's shame that car manufacturers get away with waiting for some fatalities to occur then say they knew about the problem but did not think it was a major issue. Does anyone remember the Ford Pinto? I think the bean counter at Toyota did the same thing the one at Ford did many years ago, decided that the law suits from deaths would be cheaper than a recall to repair the problem.

"Call me cynical, but this is surely looking like an attack by the owners of GM, who just happen to be the government, on their competition.
I would not be surprised if this spreads to EVERY car company except GM and Chrysler.

I think you're onto something. The death panels in the health care bill prove those Democrats will stoop to anything.
I think they may have known about the problem, but there is always a risk analysis done to determine the likelyhood of occurance. Risk is inherent in any design. And then the variation in manufacturing can compound the factors. And the fact that the majority of drivers... well I'll refrain from making comments about driving in America.
Looks like Honda stock will go up. I still won't buy a Government Motors, Fiat or Ford.
