A example of unethical action

Toyota, one of the most successful car companies in the world, mad a huge and unethical failure in 2010. Even though safety is one of the most important aspects of car company, Toyota betrayed their promise as a company by infringing safety concerns and delaying recall investigation to save as much money as they can. For example, they put side airbags in not all the cars that they produce but only some of them to save more money. Also, to save as much money as possible, they delayed the role for tougher door locks and used unethical ways to fix and recall vehicle. They kept doing these unethical things for entire two years. Because they had hided all the evidences in hundreds of death cases, no one exactly know the results of their unethical things. However, people assume that all the hundreds death cases are caused by the unethical actions. It seems that they apologized after all because they got caught, and if they didn't get caught, they might keep doing unethical things and never say sorry. Because of  the divulgence of their unethical actions and accusation of hiding evidemces in lots of death cases, Toyota lost so much prestige, wage and profit, and many people started distrust Toyota by stop buying their cars.
