Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Forum - View Single Post - Toyota Says Steering Not a Safety Feature

"According to an unnamed NHTSA spokeswomen speaking with Just-Auto, "The story was planted by Toyota. Toyota is the source – yes we know that for definite [sic]. It is [the] Toyota PR machine. We knew they were going to put it out.""

Doesn't sound very credible to me. I tend to hold the WSJ in high regard for verifying sources. I'd be willing to bet that this ends up being the official report.

Didn't Cobalts have a similar issue with steering failure earlier in the year?

I don't view my job as lifting Toyota up. But I want them to lose because American products are better, not because we amplify and intensify allegations that have not yet been proven.
