Toyota hit with sixteen-million dollar fine...

[RedRide]

...........There is NO way I'm getting rid of my Yaris...besides, it was made in Japan. No out of control American parts here. Speaking of, is anything happening to the pedal manufacturer, or is Toyota taking this all on it's own?

When wiil this issue be put to rest? The faulty gas pedals were not failing because of where they were made. The pedals made in the US happened to be a different (faulty Toyota design) than those made in Japan or elsewhere and that is where the trouble lies. It had nothing to do with poor mufacturing or workmamship.

Also, be aware that even cars mas in Japan are full of international parts and there is nothing super human about Japaneese auto workers!
