This Toyota fiasco really has me scratching my head in wonder!

We, in the automotive industry are watching these Toyota recalls in amazement. This certainly isn't the first time that problems have been discovered with regard to vehicle performance. What is shocking is the nonchellance of the public, the Toyota management, and even our American congress.
For one thing, there have been complaints of unintended acceleration since 2002. There are accounts that drivers have been blamed for accidents and Toyota has done nothing. Deaths have been reported for years and there has been a report on FOX News that Toyota management were seen laughing at the money they have saved by not acknowledgeing the problem. Now, after a policeman and was recorded on a 911 phone call in a car that he could not stop, (ultimately killing everyone in the car) was heard, Toyota is offering a quick fix. They can't even guarantee that the "fix" actually fixes anything. They still deny the many deaths that have occured, stating very small numbers...3-5...when we know there have been more.
What the public is getting are smooth commercials with carefully chosen words..we are here for you...we have always been a company with great cars...we still are that great company...etc. The reality is that they are after the almighty dollar and don't care about human life. By putting off repairs and recalls, they have made millions...maybe even billions.
Maybe it was someone else at the helm, but now, step up, be honest and acknowledge the failure to respond appropriately and stop feeding us what you think we want to hear! I, for one, would be far more forgiving if given honesty than I am inclined to be with carefully prepared statements.
As far as congress is concerned, I am ashamed at the number of congressmen and women who are taking the money they are paid by American citizens and buying imported vehicles with that money. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? Do they not get that our citizens need jobs. Even if some workers are employed by Toyota of America, the profits are sent back to Japan! Get the American manufactures working and hiring more people and keeping our profits HERE! Do you have any idea how many of our vehicles are sold there? Nearly none.
We need to think. Listen and think...not just buy everything that is said and believe it to be true because it was on TV or on the internet. Ask someone who knows. Ask people involved in the auto industry. Ask them if the response by Toyota has been appropriate. I say NO, it has not. Stop buying these imports blindly saying, or thinking, they will fis it, they're great cars, it never happened to me so it must be exaggerated! STOP!
