YABUT! How could you even forget about the Ford recall for transmissions? They talked it to death almost as much as the currect Toyota recall. However, 'talked to death' is not a good phrase to use. Hundreds were killed and thousands injured thanks to Ford NOT fixing the transmissions, but issuing a sticker for the dash instead. You want to make such a big deal about the Toyota recall. So far, I don't think anyone has died yet from the sticking pedal, and Toyota is fixing the problem. Ford did nothing. > > > "Ed Maier" <evmaiertakethisout(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message > news:hkmtuu$8ul$1(a)news.eternal-september.org... >> On 2/7/2010 11:17 AM, Mike Hunter wrote: >>> (Cross postings deleted, automatically) >>> >>> Old news!

Kinda pales compared with over 300 deaths and thousands of injuries for a transmission Ford didn't want to (and DIDN'T) fix...

No, it has to do with "US content". The more US parts, the more they could say was US content. I think foreign manufacturers get tax breaks if they use US parts, so the more parts, the more the incentive. I'm not sure about that, but I believe it works that way. They also avoid any tariffs imposed by the amount of Domestic content. All I can say...glad I bought a Scion. They're ALL made in Japan...
