People forgot something, dealers are in the business to make money so when you have a chance to steal some sales, pursuit it.
Do you think when honda have the tyranny issue, toyota dealers or any other dealerships for that matter are supporting honda dealerships? It's simple .. it's business ..

Yep.....the law of the jungle. When you have an injured animal that can't keep up with the pack, it doesn't take long for the lions and wolves to start gathering.
GM and Ford are already offering incentives on Toyota trade-ins. But, then, of course, THEY will be stuck with a bunch of (possibly) defective used cars that THEY will have to repair (at their own expense) before then can be re-sold....Toyota is not likely going to do service work for Ford and Chevy dealers free.

Not likely and I doubt that for a couple of reasons. This is a safety recall under the scrutiny of the NHTSA, etc. This is not free service work or maintenance. Toyota would not benefit from having unsafe cars circulating in the nations used car inventory even if it's outside of Toyota dealership.

OK, we'll let the lawyers and the Government determine responsibility for the repairs, but, even so, tracking down thousands (or millions) of VINs, scattered all over the place, is going to be a real mess....especially if they have been resold by non-Toyota dealerships. State DMV and registration lists might help some.
Just as an aside note, I talked to one of my old friends today.....a guy I've known for many years (he is a Toyota service director..one step above the service manager). He said, at his shop (and it's a BIG shop), they have had only a couple actual cases of real pedal problems......and they were from people who used double-level floor mats instead of taking the bottom one out like they should when they replace it. Most of this whole mess, according to him, been huge media overload. But, even the same, he's tied up in meeting after meeting on it; day in and day out.

And it's a shame this led to such a huge issue, when at least part of the problem (not all of it) could be prevented with just a little common sense in how owners use and place the floor mats. Common sense tells you you don't bunch up the mats in double and triple-layers....yet that is what some people still do.
The repair costs are minor compared to all the other costs of non-action (including additional legal costs as you mentioned).
