They're a great company. All car companies have recalls. They're demonstrating their integrity by taking a hit on their bottom line to fix the problems. Next week everybody will be bashing GM or BMW for some recall problem.

Toyota is not the manufacturer that it used to be. Lots of problems in recent years.































There was the recent problem of engine sludge in some models. This problem even extended into their flagship Lexus brand. Toyota initially blamed the owners for not keeping up with their oil changes. However, there were too many early engine failures from excessive sludge for these to be isolated incidents of owners not changing their oil. It took a class action lawsuit to finally get Toyota to admit to their design flaw. Not very good customer care here.































Then there was the problem with excessive frame rust in the Tacoma trucks. Another class action lawsuit. Toyota quietly bought up many of the effected trucks and had them crushed.































Then there is the severe frame flex problems with the Tundra trucks. I have a friend who bought one to pull his fifth wheel travel trailer. This truck should have had enough towing capacity for this trailer. He noticed that the truck would not hold an alignment. He later found that the frame of this truck was permanently tweaked (bent).































The Tundra trucks also suffer from severe frame rust. Toyota recently sent a letter to the owners of these trucks to remove the spare tire. Seems the frames are rusting so badly that the spare tire can fall off. This has caused some accidents.































Therefore, I am not surprised they have this most recent rash of problems. Now they are blaming a sub-contractor. However, I would bet money that this sub-contractor is building these parts exactly to Toyota specifications. Most likely a design flaw, not a quality issue.































I am confident that Toyota will get this most recent issue with the accelerator pedal fixed very quickly. Too much money involved in lost sales and image for them not to.































Now it is being reported that their prized Prius model had a history of brake problems. I've heard rumors about this defect for a few years. Toyota has known about this for a while, but is only now admitting to the design flaw only because of the publicity generated from the accelerator problems. The Prius uses two separate braking systems. One traditional hydraulic system and a second system that uses the drive motor as a generator to use the vehicle's inertia to charge the hybrid battery pack when you decelerate. Apparently, there is a delay as one system switches to the other and a momentary noticeable loss of brakes. This is from a programming error in the software that controls this system.































With their recent track record, you got to wonder what design flaw related recall will come next. Maybe steering problems with the Corolla. Oops, you aren't supposed to know about this one yet.































I feel this is a much deeper issue. You would think that a critical item like the throttle linkage would be quality inspected on each and every vehicle at some point in the assembly process. Apparently, this is not happening or Toyota would have identified this problem internally before 20 people lost their lives. Makes you wonder what other items are not being inspected by their quality control.































Toyota is not the brand they appear to be. Just good marketing. I would take my Chevy over a Toyota any day.

I am on my fifth Toyota, no problems with it or the company. If anything I wish the loan interest was lower. This week Honda has a recall on certain models, next week someone else. Toyotas are consistently a superior product.

I think Toyota is a very irresponsible company! Anyone who thinks they are doing the right thing by issuing the recall needs to watch tv or read a newspaper. Its the farthest thing from the truth! Toyota has been dragging their feet on this on since 2007. This could of been a 100-200 thousand car recall instead its approaching 9 million worldwide!















Ive never been a fan of foreign car companies so its no love loss towards Toyota that this is happening, What kills me is when people rank them the best when clearly they are not!















Toyota has had more recalls than any other auto manufacturer over the last ten years yet it took this behemoth to happen to get any attention about it!















For every 1 domestic manufacturer job it accounts for 13 others not including 20 retires!















These are my neighbors,aunts,uncles, mom and dad and hopefully someday my kids!















So to see the Toyota president come on tv and say not only was he sorry but how ashamed he was ....well it was music to my ears. It was also great to see them rehash the countless problems with Toyota since 2000 that were completely ignored. The icing on the cake was the amount of a hit their stocks took and the fact they say Every Toyota has took an instant $2000.00 off their resale value! I hate Toyota and every blind person who perceives them to be the best at the cost of this country's economic stability .....when there is no truth behind it!

I owned a Toyota corolla and it was beset with problems. I and my family stay away from their products especially after we did a recall and consumer complaint internet search for the last five years.. Some Toyota owners are acting like this is a first or a surprise---where have they been. I do admit they make some pretty good commercials like "The car in front is Toyota" great warning to other cars on the road..That s where we want the Toyotas and Lexus cars,certainly not behind us.

Obama is a chicago thug deliberately destroying toyota to give chicom green cars a market via nation-rapist buffet































JAPAN ARE YOU LISTENING??? EXPOSE OBAMA FOR THE CRIMINAL HE IS!!































Obama's illegal thugocracy like all Stalinists is burning down the American infrastructure to create a communal money laundering to cement his perpetual power like Hugo Chavez, Robert Mugabe, Daniel Ortega or Joe Stalin.































Obama has set about making the economic structure and manufacturing structure to suit his agenda. General Motors made weak by Democratic womb to the tomb union benefits he destroyed, then gave the ashes to the union thugs who backed Obama in the election as their payoff.















Obama then with crony Warren Buffett now works to import cheap Chinese cars which the unions would distribute for a cut, and Buffett the nation rapist would help in making China the largest auto manufacturer on the planet in usurping Japan.















This explains the savage Obama attack upon Toyota, destroying their market place by talking down Toyota in terrorizing American consumers, targeting the Prius, Toyota's successful green car to be replaced by a Chicom Buffett green car.















































Obama allowed his Rothschild and Rockefeller European banking thugs to buy up trillion dollar investment firms for pennies, Tim Geithner has been funneling money to 3 New York firms of the cartel who backed Obama and now Paul Volcker of the globalist European led order is trying to put through a banking bill which will take all the profits out of American banking in large loans and investment markets. This will shift the banking structure to European banks who will make the profitable loans to American and worldwide conglomerates, and turn American banking into the patsies of making lnickle and dime loans to Obama-fraud backers who will default on their loans.















































American taxpayers get stuck with the $100 Trillion dollar insurance bill in the Obama federal insurance scam.















































Barney Frank and Barack Obama have been triggering bubble housing investment in flipping to jig the numbers into making it appear that there is some traction in the American economy. The very things Obama screamed about in blaming President Bush, which was all Obama's and Frank's fault as they took the safeguards off of loans causing the beginning of the triggered Obama implosion. Obama has been pushing and implementing again.















































What Obama is part of is a mafia in the literal sense. He was doing this in monopolies in Chicago when he and Tony Rezko were black slum lords screwing black tenants over and he is making it a global proposition now in he has turned American finance over to the nation rapists and has turned American key industry over to union thugs.















This blog was first to point out that what Obama is doing is taking trillions in taxpayer money in revenues and debt and he is transferring it to select backers rewarding them in literal bribes, who will then in return give Obama and Democrats kickbacks in donations to fund the Obama perpetual Bolshevik System.















































When Obama blurted out to Republicans about some accusing him of having a Bolshevik scam being implemented, he was in Freudian slip confirming exactly what he has been up to.















Obama is in mafia style, extorting and robbing Americans, taking that money into his own finance system, and then that system is funneling that money back to Obama through dummy corporations funding Obama's projects.















In reality, that is how Obama's books have all been published.















































Americans apparently have never seen this operation in force, as they are making noises about TARP being a slush fund, but none of them have contemplated the organized crime scope of what Obama is up to laundering money, dry cleaning money and using the American government as his personal cash cow, as he loots private business, destroys it and hands it over to his cronies.















































Obama will definitely move into the education cash cow, as that is what Bill Ayers was pushing like a pimp with thousand dollar an hour whores out of Chicago. That is his further indoctrination policy to make a next generation of goose stepping Kim Jong Il comrades singing the praises to beloved leader Obama, as Obama's cronies loot the education system in making American children even more stupid.















































Obama was using the Obamacare scam to simply destroy private insurance and hand it all over to his communist AARP cronies, along with select massive pharmaceuticals and hospital structures who were extorted huge sums by Joe Biden to grease the wheels to make this all slide into place.















As a warning to people, do not think that any of this has gone away. The Democrats stated exactly what they were up to after Scott Brown. They are going to try to wean him and select Republicans off in bribes to alienate the electorate from voting for the GOP in November.















Their timetable was to leave this cool off for a month and let voters "forget" and then they will push this back again in propaganda guise of a

Overrated. Yes, this whole thing is blown out of proportion, but it's about time Toyota was brought down to a realistic level
