There are several class action suits involving Toyota. It's a big deal because it affects so many vehicles. 8 different models and over 4 million vehicles. When everyone is trying to stress how safe their current vehicles are the worlds largest manufacturer actually has to stop the production line, it's a big deal. Some experts believe that Toyota knew about the problem before it really got attention. If that is true, makes it an even bigger deal. Toyota stands to lose millions and millions and lose future customers for several years. Ford had some problems with transmissions coming out of neutral a while ago but never really got too big. The Firestone tires were a Firestone problem but it became a Ford problem because Ford took their sweet time to acknowledge it and do something about it.
