B. Ford Pinto (1970s) To read about this case, go to: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/1977/09/pinto-‐madness
1. Lee Iacocco, President of Ford, wanted Ford to have the best selling subcompact car (the Pinto) on the market. But they were in strong competition with the VB Bug. Iacocco wanted the Pinto to be on the market with the 1971 models, and for it to weigh no more tha 2000 pounds and have a lost cost of less than $2000. So, Ford rushed the designing process and the construction (tooling) of the manufacturing line. In the 1960s, it would typically take 43 months to design and tool a line. They did it in 25.
2. Ford new of a design Nlaw in its Pinto (car) in pre production crash tests (so before the car was sold on the market). They found that in pre-‐production crash tests (40 total), every tests over 25 mph ruptured the gas tank. 11 of these tests, with an average speed of 31 mph, were before the Pinto started leaving the factories! Only 3 passed, and each of these had a modiNied gas tank. One of the modiNied designs would have cost only $1 and weighed $1 pound.
**” In court Ford denied doing pre-‐production crash tests.”
