Know by Toyota Yaris defect

[rslyk]

You are absolutely correct..... It is my fault that Toyota manufactured a defective
car and choses to not own up to it.... I did not bother to do anything other than
trust Toyota. My mistake, it won't happen again. I think you are missing the point....Why are you not championing an effort to let all Yaris owners know that if your vin is #xxxxxxxxx75126293 and below this problem sooner or later will bite you. You claim to be an all knowing Yaris owner who just happens to have a car that this defect does not apply. I'll bet that if you witness a rape.... if it is not YOUR daughter....she must have had it coming. I have experienced this kind of appathy and denial too many times in the past....when Ford told me that the misterious unintended accelleration of my Ford LTD didn't exsist... a recall followed ....when two different sets of my Firestone tires delaminated, one causing a roll over, they said it had never happened to anyone else before....a recall followed.... When a Force outboard motor broke off and jumped up into the boat with us, Brunswick said that was impossible...a recall followed...When my neighbors Toyota accelerated out of control.....Toyta claimed it was his fault... a recall has followed....what is the common thread ?.....in each case the manufacturer refused to acknowledge a defect untill the liability was to big to deny and the cost of ignoring it rose to a value greater than sending out a TSB and hoping the clock runs out. This defect will not kill anyone but is a unresolved defect none the less...When this failure happens, Toyota will sell $1000 worth of parts each time it occurs. I am really glad that YOUR Toyota is not affected....You are right the Poll says it all.

Like it or not...recalls are issued concerning safety issues. TSBs are issued for issues that may effect some vehicles, but not all and are rarely safety related. All vehicles, by all manufacturers have TSBs.

This supports your argument how? If you want to discuss how and when people might report a crime, I would suggest the "Off-Topic" section of this forum.

I was looking for the Ford recall and I can't find a recall notice for any year of the Ford LTD regarding unintended acceleration, what year was your LTD?

My Yaris isn't my first car, it isn't even my 10th. I've had cars that had recalls issued against them and a few Service Bulletins as well. My current car will probably have a few Service Bulletins issued against it within the next year or two and I'll watch for them. It has already had one recall. It's over a vehicle capacity sticker, a B.S. recall in my opinion but it's still a recall. I don't assume it's everyone else's responsibility to keep me informed about things I own, nor do I wait until my warranty is up to "discover" the things I should have had serviced.

Recall does not equal Service Bulletin, you aren't going to see a recall on your current issue.

Stove...The Ford recall was on the cruise control that would for no reason
go to wide open throtle....it was in the mid 80's and was phantom problem
that took Ford years to live up to...I believe it was finally linked to a ground
path problem....

you sure this is not the multi-million vehicle recall where fords caught fire because the cruise control brake switch was in the brake fluid and vehicle would catch fire overnight in the garage ?

or any of the other of millions of recalls by 'name ANY auto manufacturer here' ?

yeah it sucks to have a problem with a car, but the way you're talking about it, the way you are doing, and bringing up completely irrelevant comparisons, is only making you look foolish here...

Toyota is a corporation, and the goal is to 'make money for stockholders'. Period. To achieve that goal, they strive to design reliable and stylish automobiles (and other heavy machinery and products) for various price points. Failures detract from that goal. Mistakes can and will happen and Toyota tries to correct them. Your expectations as stated are unreasonable and quite silly, and don't 'float' in the real world.

sh*t happens, deal with it.
