Toyota Is Fined $1.2 Billion for Concealing Safety Defects

Maybe this is why at the front of every pack of slow moving cars there is someone in a Toyota who lives to obstruct traffic...

Quote:
Investigators discovered internal Toyota documents that acknowledged serious problems with its vehicles. They matched those documents with the company’s public statements, which played down the problems, according to one federal law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

“That’s when we knew for sure that this was a criminal fraud case,” the official said. “That’s what you’d call a smoking gun.”
