My dad drives his 90' Toyota Camry everyday to work (he's owned a 86 Camry, 90' Camry current, 1998 Camry), commuting 30 miles each way, rain, shine, wind, etc....has never...RAN AWAY....
I drive my friends 05 Toyota Corolla S, he drives hard, i baby it going to Tahoe and everywhere...it hasn't escaped from him, has it? 60k + miles...still running like a beast. Toyota wouldn't screw people over...why, after such a long period of time? F- the media and GM...i drive a Japanese, more importantly, a Toyota...not touching anything other than a Japanese or...German (Audi). There should be some guidelines set on posting any more recall threads on here~ It seems like people are sinking themselves more and more into this subject than any other subject they took in college...lol |

Toyota wouldn't screw people over...why, after such a long period of time? To overtake G.M. as worldwide leader . Get too big for your britches syndrome
. Get tainted by the mighty $ .

take a peek at this from ABC's NIGHTLINE about computer glitch : http://abcnews.go.com/NIGHTLINE and click on AUTO PROFESSOR PINPOINTS POSSIBLE CAR FLAW . If it's made and programmed by a human there's room for error . TOYOTA is run by people , so greed
takes over right from wrong and the power goes to their heads . . If this turns out worse and it impacts the TRADE IN VALUE even more for all TOYOTAs including the YARIS we'll be p*ssed like so many others . That's one of the many reasons why we and others buy TOYOTA .

not gonna lie.... after hearing everything (and personally thinking since the start of this) it has to do with something with the DBW...... i am very confident in that.
am i worried? no will i buy another toyota? YES will i make a false claim to toyota or anyone jsut because toyota is so weak and i can? NO and many people need to think about this. yes, its made by humans, yes its possible to fail (bu really even if it were made by robots which were made by humans it still could fail) is it a serious issue? HELL YEAH!! but toyota is finally getting its share of issues. i do personally believe toyota is being great on this, they are bringing in and checking almost any car possible but at the same time, i think they are hiding a few things and they still arn't exactly sure what the issue is..... jsut my $0.02

have to admit TOYOTA has had its problems as of lately . TUNDRA frame rot , weak spot in FJ CRUISER frame , etc.. Just ain't what they used to be . Gotta put partial blame on TOYO service centers as well . Not all like to listen or look to hard at problem . Say stuff like " seems fine to me " or " must be something you did " or " don't hear it " , etc. . Could go into those issues with more details , but won't . Starts at the bottom all the way to the top .

I personally don't believe there is an issue with toyota pedals sticking. Pedals stick in every car when they brake or rust, it's normal for all cars and you don't see any of those cars with recalls.
I think people are just using this as a scapegoat, there are recalls on all makes and models of every car. It's an easy way to get out of a ticket or a good story so someone doesn't look like they are driving recklessly. Rust is normal in bad weather where salt is used or area's close to shore. I do believe they may have issues with the ecu programming for brakes or whatever. People don't realize ALL cars have problems. Subaru right now has issues with the ECM that are destroying the cars CAT & lets not forget the head gasket problem. Nissan has issues were some of the engines are breaking. Honda had that issue with the airbags shooting shrap metal. The list goes on and on. |
