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. GM knew about the bad gas tanks on trucks way before they came to light as well.
