Update on Toyotas Recall

[Jonny]

I guess one feels better with a little foreplay before they get screwd.

 

Dinner and a movie never hurts the mental attitude.

LOL did Toyota decide to save all their recalls for the same time?

Now a pick up! What 09/10 models have not been recalled yet.

Some perspective:

 

2009: Ford 4.5 million - defective throttle. Long-standing problem that affected approx 16 million vehicles altogether, model years 1992-2003

 

2009: Toyota - 1.35 million - seat belt problem

 

2007: Ford 1.17 million defective sensor in engine

 

2005: GM 2 million + - seat belt problem

 

2005: Daimler-Chrysler 1.3 million - electronics and brakes

 

2004: GM - approx 1.5 million - defective tail lights and gas pedals

 

2004: Chrysler Group 2.7 million - automatic transmission problem

 

2003: Nissan 2.56 million vehicles model years 1998-2003 - engine defect

I would still purchase a Toyota over any of the other brands...mine has still not seen the inside of a repair shop.

The latest - the US Government wants to know if Toyota knowingly withheld knowledge of safety concerns:

OLD, old news...move on.

I know you die hard Toyota guys wish it would but there is obviously more here than meets the eye.

 

The news is revelant and it will be interesting to see what come`s out when Congress start hammering away at Toyota`s exec`s this week.

 

The CNBC news report I saw last night does not paint a pretty picture for Toyota.

 

Stay tuned!!

Pontiac VIBES use the exact same gas pedal but it's never reported by the Obama Press Media.....wonder WHY.....
