Feds to determine if other manufacturers have unintended acceleration problems

The U.S. Transportation Department is investigating if there are automakers aside from Toyota Motor Corp. that have problems with unintended acceleration. CTS Corp., Toyota’s supplier of accelerator-pedal assemblies, was asked if there were any other car companies that got accelerator equipment similar to that used by Toyota.

In a letter that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sent to CTS, the agency said that this information would indicate a safety-related defect in other manufacturers’ vehicles. The NHTSA also wants to determine if CTS sales comply with all legal requirements.

Lesson for Toyota, just make the cars with Denso parts. Don't use American suppliers.

NHTSA is probably just trying to further an agenda by Unions that now have political weight. They couldn't unionize Toyota so they have to come up with a hysteria campaign.

Strange how most people still think Chrysler is American.
