With a few minutes research, I bet just about any search of a consumer complaint website would show most manufacturers have quirky problems they don't fix. I won't jump on the lets torch Toyota when they are all in the same camp.

You're completely missing the point. Yes, every automaker has had massive recalls, every automaker has at one point tried to delay fixing problems. The point is that Toyota has covered up problems over and over again and those problems are now coming to light. One can only wonder what else Toyota has half-assed in their quest to overtake GM as sales leader that will later lead to more problems and possibly more owner deaths.
The bottom line is that Toyota's vehicles are no better (and in many cases, worse) than GM's or Ford's and they no longer deserve their reputation for quality. They haven't deserved that reputation for some time now.
