Do you know how many sudden unintended acceleration were needed for Toyota to take a beating? How many fires were needed for Ford to recall Pinto? How many ignition failed for GM to take a beating?

All of those were low numbers.

Toyota recalled 9 million cars for about 40 deaths.

Ford recalled 1.5 million cars for about 40 fires.

GM recalled 30 million cars for about 120 deaths.

To put things into perspective, about 100 people die from traffic accidents each day in USA.
