• MKTG 522 Week 7 DQ 2 (Ethics and Social
  Responsibility)

• Customer complaints about Toyota cars suddenly
  accelerating were initially downplayed by Toyota
  Motor Sales in December 2009, which initially
  stated that it was caused by the driver's side
  carpeting getting in the way of the pedal.
  Toyota's announcements at the beginning of 2010,
  however, suggested that the real culprit was a
  defective gas pedal. This resulted in many calls
  for an investigation, as the initial claim about
  the carpeting was seen as apparent camouflage for
  a more serious situation, one that is alleged to
  have resulted in hundreds of Toyota cars suddenly
  accelerating and unable to stop, as well as
  several passengers dying in accidents.
