They told her the most problems were from certain vin numbers and indicated there were more problems with cars that were made in USA plants.

I wonder if that is true.

I saw a segment on a news show where they indicated that the accelerator pedal issue that can be fixed with the addition of a little plate was due to a design used by one of two U.S. suppliers.

If the problem is with computer code, I don't think they can easily blame it on U.S. facilities.
