I truly believe the problem is more software related than mechanical problem. But we will never know. Regarding the lies, One of the top Toyota guys was interviewed on a local radio show a few weeks ago (discussing the NUMMI plant shutdown) and I thought... man this guy is full of shit. He should be working for the professor in the White House. He could spin any topic. Great communicator but full of shit.

Drug to the local Auto Show by friends of mine last evening. Overheard someone asking a Toyota salesman about the recall. His answer: "Oh, it's a voluntary recall that affects only a handful of units."

5.3 million of anything is more than a handful

Pontiac Vibe is now on the list. European sales now halted as well.

Both my trucks were built at Flint assembly, in Flint MI

Or, just buy a real American car, if US domestic products is your 1st priority.
All or nothing.

You really think that a US built BMW is of lesser build quality than its german counter part???? Wow you are naive

[ben312]

Oh shit, there goes all the indian sales!

Unless they still make the Camry and Corolla.

Made in my home town of Georgetown, KY. The plant has shut down one line, but is still using all its workers. The part was made somewhere else and shipped to us. There are a few different places that made the part, thats why only some of the cars are being recalled.

You are aware that the the X series and the Z4 are all Built in South Carolina right?????

That's why i don't buy them.
Only buy BMW Made In Germany.

I own a Tundra that is under the recall and I'm not worried a bit about it ;)

I road test Toyotas all day long and im not worried at all...Love the Tundras, only question is how the hell do you park it they are HUGE when you get one of the ones with Crew Cab/Long bed

Why did ford just recall a gas pedal that came from the same supplier as toyota's?

Paranoia? You don't know any more than we do about why it was done.

I don't need to do it QUICKERVICAR just did. That's how the whole RFP process works.

People tend to freak about "unintended acceleration" after the '80s Audi problems. I own a Tundra that is under the recall and I'm not worried a bit about it ;)

Prove it.

I was disappointed to see that the prius wasnt on the list. I fucking hate all of those cars and the shitty yuppie drivers that attemp to drive them. Get the fuck out of my way you hypermiling homos. Go buy a Jetta Diesel that gets better fuel mileage and does not need a fucking change of batteries in 5 years. Those dumb tree-hugging fucks will loose all of their 'savings' in fuel when they need to replace them. The method of production of the batteries and the waste they create in the landfills adds up to be worse then a normal car over its entire lifetime. FUCK YOU PRIUS! (and new insight that looks fucking identical)
...end rant. :D

Give it time.

You're a fucking moron if you think that "study" about Prius batteries was even remotely legitimate.

PS: Prius Batteries are warrantied for 8 years or 100k miles.
