Everyone is over-looking all of the other recalls. Didn't ford have an electrical problem with the CC that made a whole lot of units catch on fire? The 4cyl Fieros of the 80s also spontaneously caught fire. GM just had a recall because the belts for the power steering where snapping. And I think Ford just had another recall for a dangerous issue, but I don't remember what it was for. But noooo, as soon as a major foreign brand has a recall for a sticky pedal that's only really happened a few times, it suddenly becomes a big deal. And you can just put it in neutral and the car will slow down. The brakes still work. You could even turn it off. But you can't stop an electrical fire that easily unless you have an extinguisher.
