Da steht fast alles:
Also es geht um den Ford Pinto
Problem war das der Tank bei einem Auffahrunfall nur alzugern in die Luft flog.
Der Rest hier;Pinto's gas tank until forced to." (January 7, 1980)
On January 15, 1980, the Ford Motor Company went on trial on charges of reckless homicide in the 1978 death of three Indiana teenagers who burned to death after their 1973 Fort Pinto was hit from behind by a van. Indiana state prosecutors alleged that Ford knew Pinto gasoline tanks were prone to catch fire during rear-end collisions but failed to warn the public or fix the problem out of concern for profits. The trial marked the first time that an American corporation was prosecuted on criminal charges. The subcompact Pinto was the result of Ford's determination to compete with fuel-efficient Volkswagen and Japanese imports. Ford President Lee Iacocca insisted that it weigh 2,000 pounds and cost $2,000, and strict adherence to these restrictions led Ford engineers to compromise on safety. The Pinto met federal safety standards, however, and in its 10-year life, some two million were sold. The Pinto's major design flaw--a rear fuel tank prone to rupturing--became apparent in 1972 when Californian Lily Gray's stalled Pinto was rear-ended and then burst into flames. She died, and her 13-year-old passenger, Richard Grimshaw, received disfiguring burns. He sued Ford and was awarded $125.8 million, later reduced by a judge to $6.5 million. Dozens of other lawsuits followed. By the 1977 model year, tougher federal safety standards had forced Ford to repair the Pinto's fuel-tank problem. In late 1978, under government pressure, Ford recalled 1.5 million 1971-76 Pinto sedans. However, it was too late for the three teenage girls killed in Indiana when their 1973 Pinto burst into flames in August 1978. Indiana prosecutors charged the Ford Motor Company with reckless homicide, which carried a maximum fine of $30,000. A case against Ford executives, which could have resulted in jail terms, was decided against because of its complexity. Ford was acquitted in March 1980, but the spectacle of burning cars and the company's apparent lack of safety concern seriously damaged its reputation. The Pinto was discontinued in the fall of 1980.
