Nothing more than a political stunt. She's not qualified for that position.

Some people are not rational at all. Beside the lack of technical knowledge.
On the other hand it's interesting to know how close the "fire events" were one to the other. Based on the timing we can understand if the BMW customer responsibles reacted properly or not. They should have understood faster the root cause and apply the corrective actions. |

South Korea is worried about a few BMWs when their own hospitals don't have fire suppression systems. I lived there for 3 years, Korea has no right to talk about anything safety wise.

Did you live in the country? At least they do have significantly advanced medical resources to be provided at much cheaper price than us when they get burnt

I feel as if the whole thing is a ploy to ban BMW and help line the pockets of Kia and Samsung. I find it really strange that this only happened in Korea. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/25/w...uth-korea.html |

Care to throw in examples they have overreacted upon? I'm not familiar with this stereotype.
