now we all heard about the toyota recall,and now ford is doing the same,why did they wait?i mean at leaset toyota admitted the fault and want to fix it,so for those that think fords are better thn toyota ,i see you have a issue now as well and even worse if toyota never did have this issue you would have never known about the ford problem,toyotas are so much better than gm or ford,i wont even mention how crap cyhsler is
 
There were no reported accidents from Ford vehicles because of the accelerator pedal. Ford issued the recall after discovering they were using the same sub-contractor to make these throttle pedals that Toyota used.

They issued the recall to be on the safe side and alert customers BEFORE anyone was hurt or killed. Ford wasn't going to wait until 20 people lost their lives like Toyota did.

I suspect when it all comes out the problem won't be entirely the sub-contractor's fault. I bet the sub-contractor made the parts exactly to Toyota's specifications. The problem may have very easily been a flaw in Toyota's design of the parts.

What bothers me most is that you would think a critical component like the accelerator assembly would be inspected on every vehicle at some point of the assembly. If these parts were inspected by Toyota you would think that they would have discovered this design flaw and fixed it themselves before people had to die.
 
They stopped production on cars because they are using accelerators made by the same company that made the ones in the Toyota's. However there has been no problems with the Fords they are just taking precautions.
