A: Immediately.
Q: After learning of potentially deadly problems with their accelerator pedals, when should Toyota executives have disclosed them?
After Watergate, after Iran-contra, after the Roman Catholic sex abuse cases, after Monica Lewinsky, after Scooter Libby, after whatever John Edwards is up to this week, after all this and more, you would think that finally, finally, people would realize that the cover-up will always be uncovered and that they would just be better off to come clean immediately.
In the case of Toyota, we should herald company spokesman Irv Miller, who apparently pushed for full disclosure while others wanted to keep it quiet.

With all the high priced and supposedly smart people who advise others or how to deal with problems I am amazed that there are so many cover ups. Eventually they all get found out and the problem becomes that much worse.
