Fox Business News is quoting Wall Street Journal as stating that Ford has stopped production at one plant in China - for unintended acceleration.

 

Is this just a Toyota thing?

 

Is this issuse a software or hardware problem?

 

All/most of the accelerators today are electric or electronic.

 

You can bet that ALL manufactureres are looking closely at these gas pedals.

I know when GM started using the "drive by wire",in the mid-'90s (I think the Corvette was the first to get it) I was worried about unintended acceleration myself,but thankfully they've had no issues with it.

 

If GM has to stop production,or stop selling vehicles,It WILL hurt them...big time

Yep.. It would be HARD for GM to recover from that.

It's a mechanical issue as I understand it.. Not a software or programming problem.

 

The pedal is sticking or won't come back up after it's been pressed from what they claim.

Next time you hop on an Airbus aircraft remember she is fly by wire as well <grin>

Does this mean Wal-Mart will not sell Fords?
