A little trip down the auto recall hall of shame.

"Toyota recalled as many as 3.8 million cars worldwide due to floor mats that could cause the accelerator pedal to get stuck to the floor.

But wait, there's more. Ford just added 4.5 million vehicles to the 9.6 million recalled in 2008 due to a faulty cruise control switch that could catch fire. Do the math - that's 14.1 million cars recalled."
