Do you , think the NHTSA ordered a recall, I can't see why they should I
got one voluntarily and our government hasn't taken any interest.
When they do, they ban outright. Mosckvitch was complained about for
always pulling to the side when the brakes were applied. A government
department bought some, tested some on closed circuits and dismantled
others, within weeks they said the design was at fault and all the
Mosckvitch cars were proscribed. When Suzuki started to import cars,
it was felt that in inexperienced hands, they were to likely to fall
over whilst cornering. Same result, they were proscribed until the
model was renewed with a wider track giving it more stability. Lada
cars couldn't meet the emissions regulations, when they came in, same
result. Possibly the reason that our accident rate is so low is that our
testing is rigorous and regular (yearly). If the government seriously
thought that Toyotas needed looking at, then by now they'd have been
proscribed until the fault was fixed and they were satisfied.

Do you mean you do not KNOW the Japanese government has been giving billions
of Yen to Toyota, as well as all of the other Japanese corporations, ever
since WWII? Why do you think the business world refers to Japan as "Japan
Incorporated?"

I guess you really do believe the NHTSA ordered the recall of 8,500,000
vehicle in the US on
a whim. ;)

How do they know the accelerator caused the death?

The car is wrecked and the driver dead. Who do you ask?

Mosckvitch? New one on me!

Lada? Only in Canada. Like driving a tank.
