You obviously didnt read anythng beck posted…this problem was caused by an AMERICAN based company that made the parts for Toyota. The ones made in Japan work just fine. Sooo who’s got the quality control problem now? ---

> [@OriginalSterm](#): > > Typical Toyota quality control… > > I’ll stick with my quality American made cars (German made ones too) thank you very much. You’re obviously not familiar with whatever the fuck it is you’re talking about. Read this: [Kaizen - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen) It’s a staple in any industry’s quality control segment. It was first implemented in the workforce by Toyota and they’ve perfected it. Since then domestic brands have latched on. If it wasn’t for Toyota’s process of continual improvement methods, GM would be in the shitter. [http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746\_7-10270192-48.html](http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7-10270192-48.html) “With these and some other technical innovations, GM has a fighting chance to meet the federal government’s 35.5 mpg corporate average fuel economy mandate for 2016. And the key to it all has been kaizen–step-by-step improvement rather than a technological Great Leap Forward.” ---

Just because there isn’t a bow-tie on the grill, people tend to forget that Toyota employs 1.5 million people in the US. Shit, I own a Toyota and a GM. Well, I physically drive the Toyota. As for the GM, I pay taxes. ---

Just because there isn’t a bow-tie on the grill, people tend to forget that Toyota employs 1.5 million people in the US… …and just because somebody had a 1984 Chevette that they abused they assume all American made cars suck and the brand new Japanese car they bought and take care of is superior. My comment was sarcasm, poorly translated across the internet. My point was that this _could_ lead to public opinion that, right or wrong, will be tough to get over. So many people, this forum included, discount American made cars without actually having facts or well formed opinions based on personal, RECENT experience. ---

Kaizen = common sense. If you have to read up on what it is and learn it you shouldn’t be in a business. Who on earth DOESN’T want to improve quality while cutting costs? ---

I remember VW/Audi having similar problems a few years ago. In fact, their electronic throttles scared a bunch of owners due to unpredictability. ---

You’re supposed to slam the brakes, throw the car in neutral and immediately shut the car off and call a dealer if it happens to you lol ---

I wonder what the reason for going to the American company for the pedals was? Oh yeah cutting costs probably. I haven’t had any bad luck with GM really so I haven’t had a reason to switch, but if I did, I’d buy a Honda. ---

Looks like Ford uses the same pedals, and just halted production in China: [LINK](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704194504575030891636493402.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_sections_business) ---

CTS also supplies pedals for Hyundai, Honda/Acura, Nissan/Infiniti. It’s up to CTS to notify these manufacturer’s that there is something wrong with their parts. So far they haven’t. Should be very interesting in the days to come.
