Another Toyota safety recall
I don't know who is worse: Tiger Woods or Toyota? The hits just keep coming

That's not good news, my daughter has a 2010 Corrolla that she bought three months ago. So far no complaints of stalling.

'Toyota has said those vehicles could accelerate out of control because the gas pedal is prone to being entrapped by the floor mat."
Who hasn't had a floor mat bunch up on them but it usually just stops you from pushing the pedal down. Never had a pedal get stuck. They must be using some goofy setup ehy? |

I guess they think that a million vehicles that accelerate out of control is cancelled out by a million vehicles that stop by themselves?

the vibe should be included in this too, it uses mostly toyota electronics (or so it seems by the design and operation compared to my GFs prius)

That's what I was just getting ready to say. I dont know how much they have in commen, but I believe they are basically the same car minus the body.

Indeed...quite the one, two...three, four, five....punch!
What's strange, though, is that I actually never expected Toyota to suffer this many um...'problems'. Huh. Whatever, I'm happy. More reason to buy a good GM or Ford. |

Over at GMI, we're talking about setting up a sub-forum just for toyota recalls. Pisses the toyota trolls off soooo much.

I'm just glad to see them getting national attention with these problems. No amount of clever advertising can sweep such huge problems back under the rug.

I am Glad
GLAD toyota has problems. Can't stand that stupid 'BEEP BEEP" alarm that goes off EVERY FREAKING time a LEXUS OWNER walks up to their stupid vehicle.
BEEP BEEP (oh i am walking up to my lexus now) i have to BEEP BEEP so people know when i am going somewhere in my car. BEEP BEEP ( I am special i have a lexus and a $900 car payment) BEEP BEEP (my tiny small lexus SUV is so fun to drive and has no headroom or any kind of room to transport anything) BEEP BEEP (i am leaving for work now in my lexus) BEEP BEEP (I am leaving for no reason except to BEEP BEEP people who were asleep 2 seconds ago) BEEP BEEP (HOPE toyota continues to get 8 million recalls so that "beep beep" sound effect quietly goes away) BEEP BEEP (IF YOU ARE GOING TO BEEP BEEP me, sorry I cannot have empathy for your sticking gas pedal.) TURN THE BEEP BEEP CRAP off please. GO FREAKING BEEP YOURSELF and STICK YOUR KEY FOB UP YOUR _____ . AND GET LOST TOYOTA. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR BLAND FLAVORLESS RETARDED LOOKING CARS. |
