Issa on Toyota: ‘Good Companies Fix Their Mistakes, Great Ones Learn From Them’
EmailThat’s what he told me on ‘GMA’ this morning. He said that Toyota’s establishment of a failsafe in its vehicles is something that should have been done years ago when problems with its fleet were first reported.
As for his colleague Rep. Henry Waxman’s comments regarding new legislation to deal with the electronics issues, he doesn’t see it the same way “Our job is to see when something's not safe, task them to get it right, and see that they get it right, not to engineer for them or be anything more than the watchdog that we haven't been for a great many years."
And he expressed some sympathy with Haley Barbour’s take that there’s been a “rush to judgment” on Toyota.

Are these toyota issues happening only to Toyotas sold in the United States?
Toyotas are sold all over the world.
Does this happen in Japan?
Europe?
Canada?
South America?
We hear only about the United States. We always seem to get just half of the story, I always want more info. I especially want to know if this happens to Toyotas in Japan.

Are you kidding they have had plenty of time to come clean and fix this mess. Toyota need to take a class on self accountability and evaluation. It looks as though they were hoping that the americans would continue to keep a turned head.
shame shame shame on you Toyota :(
