Conflict of Interest - US Government vs. Toyota

I remember when my old 97 Pontiac Grand Prix had problems with steering, where the steering wheel would lock up without warning and completely fail. I vividly remembering trying to merge onto a road when my steering suddenly locked up in mid turn and I nearly hit another vehicle, I ended up driving into a ditch in order to avoid an accident since I was unable to direct the car.

There were thousands of complaints, but it took over 5 years for them to finally issue a recall.

Ford took a bailout, they just did it a few years earlier than GM/Chrysler.

This is nothing more than the US government looking out for their investments while attempting to stimulate US companies via sensationalism.

Or...how about punishing Japan for relocating US bases?

Member "Mr. Wizard" has brought this up in a previous thread. You are not the only one voicing this.

According to the alien contactee Alex Collier, the Kobe earthquake was a way to punish Japan in the 90s. This Toyota thing made me remember that. Take it as you will.

Toyota known for their car and truck reliability, is now at the front line of the news but not in a good way. Over the past few months their name has been forever tarnished. This all is happening at the weirdest time, what I mean by this is that the American car companies ie, GM most in the headlines for almost going into bankruptcy and the US government for bailing them out.... and now with with toyota sales droping...guess what companies are gaining sales now Ford , Gm, etc. What I'm trying 2 say is that I think that the US government had something to do with the problem...call me crazy if you want most people will, but with the drop of toyota sale there has been a great rise in domestic sale. Its just coming at the weirdest time...american sale are at there alltime low they need something to bring them back up...
