(WXYZ) - The FBI is confirming raids at the offices of three Michigan auto suppliers who do work for Toyota.
Search warrants were served Tuesday evening at Yazaki North America, DENSO International and Tokai Rika. Yazaki sells electronic components and DENSO makes accelerator pedals.
Denso has released the following statement about the situation "DENSO International America, Inc. (DIAM), U.S. subsidiary of DENSO Corporation, was inspected on February 23, 2010 by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice in regard to U.S. antitrust laws. DIAM is cooperating with this investigation."

Kerr says the investigation is unrelated to Toyota’s recent recalls. Denso is a major parts supplier for Toyota and is one of two suppliers of its gas pedals.
Obama: I won.

Subpeonas wouldn’t have done the trick? They needed raids?
WTF are the jackbooted thugs up to today, Timmy? Perp-walking Lassie to the hoosegow?
YET
Something does smell really bad about this entire episode.
I own a Toyota that was made in America (VIN numbers that begin with a J are made in Japan, all other letters are American made).
I will be buying another Toyota because they treat their employees with respect and I like their product-it has saved us a huge bundle of money.
I am going to also buy a gun....have been planning this one for years but now I feel an urgency.
There is a revolution coming-the liberals believe we are WAY MORE PLACID and STUPID than we are, and they have NO UNDERSTANDING that the tea parties are only a first attempt at trying to get the democrats attention. This is OUR COUNTRY TOO and we will NOT LET THEM DESTROY IT!
"Frrrrrrrttttttttt"
FBI goons are becoming more like “Cheka” from the old Soviet Union with each passing year.

Pintos back in the 1970’s had that problem. Is that who you were thinking of or was it more recent?
Does anyone doubt now that this is the work of Bozo and the boys trying to take out government motors competition?
Ridicule them in the press and in front of ‘congress’. Work up a backlash lather and use that to storm their businesses on behalf of big union and big trial lawyers.
Seems to be working now
Glad it wasn’t just me!
I watched about a half hour of the Toyoda hearing today.
These crooks, cronies, thiefs and corrupt charlatans are dispicable....yes, I’m talking about Congress.
They have put this country on the brink of collapse and set a course for certain eventual collapse and they dare to treat Toyoda like this.
Elenor Holmes amIreallyaCongressman Norton was so low rent in her questioning and is unable to even comprehend English. Toyoda’s asst. was making the point that these cars are made in American factory etc...and
...Norton got defensive and insinuated that Toyoda wasn’t claiming the American cars.....what an absolute waste of space and dipshit Norton is.
Embarassing.
History repeating itself.
The current administration is using the recall as an excuse to gain as much control over Toyota as it can.
If they can bankrupt Toyota, that will be a plus for them.
Admiral ack...gosh I thought they were saying Alley-oop Snackbar!
Well I’m glad to see your confusion is abating, anyway!
