CNN: "Toyota's president Akio Toyoda apologized for the gas pedal
problems that have forced the recall of millions of vehicles, Japanese
media reported."

What a difference from the approach other auto manufacturer's have
used when faced with a major problem. Apologize. The norm has been
deny it. deny it. deny it. Then grudgingly fix it while continuing
to deny a real problem.


Ford in China too has suspended production and sales of their larger
vehicles. Apparently CTI located in Elkhart IN is the maker of the pedals
with the problems. I would not rule out other auto makers in the near
future. Apparently the Pontiac Vibe has the pedal also.
