Remember the Pinto

I would have thought that after the Pinto experience most automakers would know better. You know, that thing about exploding gas tanks knowingly installed, many hundreds of millions in successful lawsuits and many innocent people burned horribly because they put their trust in the auto industry. Looks like it has happened again. This time a Dodge pickup burned, something about faults in the day-time running lights. Once again, the manufacturer has gone to great extremes to not accept responsibility. This despite the fact that their own engineers have admitted the fault and their knowledge of it. All this in Canada, I wouldn't have thought it possible in today's world.
