Obama Administration Sending Wrong Signals
February 5th, 2010 · No Comments
No one could blame Toyota Motor Company officials for feeling as if they’ve been on the “hot seat” for an inordinately-long period of time: On Sept. 29, the company issued a recall related to floor mats interfering with accelerator pedals of seven Toyota models; On Jan. 21, the company issued another recall, this time related [...]
