I wonder if they'll get summoned before congress to explain their actions, or if that's only reserved for foreign motor companies that have been stealing market share away from the Big Three?

It depends on if they spent months blaming driver error, then floor pads and finally 'sticky' pedals before Congress subpeonas documents which show head division employees sought saving money versus public safety ;)

I don't mind them holding Toyota's feet to the fire because they couldn't reproduce the error while an independent car engineer was paid $1800 and was able to repeat the error on command (which doesn't trigger a computer error in the system either). I know Toyota has smart people working for them.

See how I justify my hate for corporations and government both?

GM probably went straight to a recall after seeing Toyota's numbers sinking badly. They all use the same criteria:

if (Lawsuit Cost + Media) < Recall Cost
then No Recall
