Toyotas recall

as I read in all the newspapers and groups about the gas pedal recall, I cant rejoice in this recall and the reactionof the news and press I have seen Ford and GM also slammed in the news the same way. I find it hard to believethat a company would let something like this go on. I am sure mistakes were made maybe even coverups by someat a lower level. Anyone that has worked at a large corp. has seen things happen but without the whole picturelet things go. There have been many accerlation problems across the board caused by floor mats. One happened to me, once to a brother in law, and once to a son In law. They didn't cause any accidents thank goodness.I guess the only thing I can blame toyota for is not reacting fast enough.I worked in GM for years designing, building, and maintaining production machinery as much as we tried to foolproofthings, things still fail. ll auto companys have the same problems, use the same suppliers, tear each others cars down to the last boltto review latest products etc. I think the top 5 or 6 companys all make equal cars. That said my choice is to buyamerican based company cars with the most american made content and even that is hard to figure out.

BTW, I hear Ford too bought from this US CAW supplier, and Chrylser is pretty quiet. Looks to be a grow> According to published reports Toyota management has been aware of the
