Toyota si GM, acuzate ca ?închid ochii? la defecte grave

O angajata a unei fabrici din California condusa de General Motors impreuna cu Toyota isi acuza managerii ca au trecut cu vederea defecte grave ale autovehiculelor in ultimii ani, informeaza CNBC.

Katy Cameron a intentat un proces angajatorilor sai, acuzandu-i

ca au sters in ultimii doi ani din rapoartele sale defecte ale autovehiculelor la centurile de siguranta, la sistemul de franare, faruri si stopuri, sistemul de directie, oglinzile laterale si motor, pentru a parea ca s-a redus numarul de defecte din fabrica.

Inca nu se stie daca aceste defecte au cauzat vreun accident.

Cand aceasta, o experta in sesizarea defectelor de fabricatie, a raportat superiorilor sai cele observate, a fost tranferata pe alt post si a fost supusa unor teste pshihologice.

Cameron solicita daune de la conducerea fabricii in cauza - NUMMI, Toyota North America, General Motors cat si Toyota Motor Corp.

asta la toyota a fost mare tamtam...presedintele a trebuit sa isi ceara scuze in public...primul ministru chiar a facut scandal...

au fost demiteri destituiri...etc etc.....

ast cu reno o zice unu dat afara.....asa ca bunavointa pt client nu???

eu zic ca e simplu: au fost prinsi cu ocaua mica si a trebuit sa plateasca pentru asta. Asta e cu mesaj pentru cei ce sustin ca japonezii nu fac mismasuri

''Toyota anunta retragerea a 330 de mii de unitati Hilux Surf''

''ancheta juridica a relevat existenta a 82 de cazuri care prezentau acest defect''

asta inseamna 0,0248(48)% din masinile fabricate prezentau acest defect!
...mai oameni buni, ocupati-va de lucruri serioase!
eu unul la procentajul asta mi-as cumpara Toyota cu ochi inchisi.
Va chinuiti sa faceti antireclama si va iese pe dos

problema nu e numrul de unitati afectate (btw, cati oameni au murit din cauza asta, chiar si 10-20 de oameni daca au murit tot e mult), ci de faptul ca cei de la toyota stiau de acest defect care putea omori oameni, dar nu au facut nimic, ba dimpotriva au incercat sa-si acopere urmele..
