Ever since the day we
discussed the Ford Pinto Case it has never left my mind. I understand companies
want to make a profit and the fact that it would cost more to fix compared to
lawsuits once the cost benefit analysis was completed. However I feel that no
price should ever be put on an individual’s life. Ford wouldn’t have continued
making the product if a family member of the chairman was who had been taken
due to this problem, the reason they weren’t was because Ford knowledge keep
their families safe just the people who trusted your product. I find that a little ironic that they are
willing to sell these products but would not drive them themselves. This commercial
shows how little the impact was required for this car to combust. It really
makes me consider everything someone tells me like oh this is safe and has
these features to protect you, but now I understand they are not selling these
features for your benefit but just a profit.
I Believe that the amounts that for was paying to the
families who had individuals killed or injured due to their product was not significant
enough. Money can’t buy love or happiness and that is what those people gave to
their families.
