Not certain if a congressional hearing was involved, but the Big 3 certainly got a lot of press on similar issues. To name a few GM with the Corvair - Ralph Nader even published a book about it " Unsafe At Any Speed"; Ford with the Pinto, Explorer, can't recall if it was Ford or G-M with fuel tank blow-up on their pick-ups. Toyota has a serious issue & they shouldn't be sheltered from similar treatment - especially after their comments to the effect "we are not certain the floor mats and brake pedal fix will totally resolve the issue." The public, especially the Toyota owners need to know. And yep, I owned a '65 Corvair Monza & a '78 Ford Pinto and a '98 Ford Explorer.
