All that time, the defect lied in Toyotas own electronic throttle control system  |
Actually no thats not the Japanese culture at all. I work for a Japanese company and the overwhelming mantra is that we're all in this together, but if you really F up you need to fall on your sword. Otherwise to the end they will cover for each others mistakes and help each other out no matter what.
And if you have read up on the whole "Toyota scandal" the NHTSA has released preliminary results that have found people failed to depress the brakes sufficiently in EVERY ONE of the reported "accidents" except for one. Of course thats on the bottom of the headlines because its not sensational enough.
