Toyota violated that basic compact.”[/quote]

Off topic, but does anyone else hate NBC's new website? It's unusable.

It'll be interesting to see how much GM ends up paying out to the ignition problems that caused a couple deaths Seeing as how Toyota is being handled, but IMO this is the correct call. Admittedly it took longer than I thought. Didn't those throttle sticking accidents happen in like 2009?

I thought they determined most of those cases were user error?

I'm sure they covered up some things but I thought that some investigations showed that it was user error that caused the acceleration.

I thought they handled that years ago. And that is a lot of money for one company to pay.
