Clint I am not going to accept that kind of interaction from you or anyone. You say I called you names. I did not. I am not the one calling names, and that kind of debate just leads to cable news style screaming matches that make for nice YouTube clips, but not really for healthy debate. |
Why do we need this thread? It's just a Debbie Downer example of our world falling apart . . .

You are trying to minimize the situation. Because you read a newspaper that said there were some recent injuries associated with a Toyota recall make the facts of the lives lost because of this. You say "only quoted a couple of injuries" ... Why did you write this? Do you believe that there are no deaths or lives ruined because of this? Do you only have a proxy to japanforum.com or only able to read the local tabloid? Believe what you want man, you are impossible. I provided the links, and you just stick you head in the sand. Quote:
People can go back and read your first post to me on the subject saying I'm relishing and hoping for failure of Toyota so they can't fix the problem. I'm done with you on this. |
Toyota Recall spreads to Japan
"Japan's top business daily Nihon Keizai, however, reported Friday that Toyota will recall 270,000 of the 2010 model Prius in the United States and Japan. The country’s Japan’s Nikkei News Service also reported that. But an official at Japan's transport ministry said the government has yet to receive a recall notice from the carmaker."
This is regarding brake failures. Its coming for Japan too. It would be refreshing that Toyota is in full recall mode and not delaying further.

But I am going to happily try and exit this "discussion" as it isn't really my style. |
again sorta not
the NTSB 'National Transportation Saftey Board' in the United States has done over 6 investigations concerning Toyota- specifically regarding Toyota and it's 'problematic' accelerator pedal- litigation concerning 'failure' of Toyota's accelerator pedal date back as far as 2003' -2004'.
For the record concerning reported accidents for this 'gas pedal failure' -265 reported accidents and 18 deaths. This only applies to US customers and only the 'accelerator pedal' problem. Two other recalls involving Toyota apply to floor mat and failure in brake over-ride system. sources NTSB,NYT,Bloomberg,Auto World |
May they rest in peace and I hope this is an eye opener to Toyota.

As expected:
Interesting story and possibly more to come:

My mom owns a Toyota and like a friend of mine said years ago after buying a Toyota, "you never see a Toyota broken down on the side of the road".
