Toyota has been getting a free pass for years by the automotive press in the US. The government of Japan since WWII has been giving all kinds of help through the back door to companies like Toyota. As had been stated before they hid problems with their vehicles and did nothing about till. They deserve to get what they got coming to them.

Ford,GM & Chrysler have been plagued with recalls for years. The Ford Explorer fiasco, Ford's Stalling problem recall for 1983-94 ignition module recalls, GM's Side saddle tank for their trucks in the 1980's, etc. etc.
Toyota has had some recalls over the years, for rust problems in their trucks, floor mats that would come loose and jamb under the acc. pedals, and now this acc. Pedal/ Brake problem.
There are some who think that Toyota might not have been hammered on so hard by the federal government if they were members of the UAW Union.
Currently Toyota only has about 4,700 UAW workers in a plant in California. The fact that GM and the UAW are hammering Toyota so hard now, and the government being a biggest share holder in GM piling on will be interesting to see play out.
