This is a shocking cover up. Support local manufacturers, buy GM and Ford. I’d rather walk to work than travel in a Toyota. This is a shocking cover up. Support local manufacturers, buy GM and Ford.

Complaints of deaths due to sudden acceleration in Toyota cars, like the Audi that went 0-60MPH at a turn of a key that involved death and injury, I don’t recall any apologies from Audi. Recalls aren’t new take a look: http://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/saf-sec-sur/7/vrdb-bdrv/search/search.aspx?lang=e Ford 1419 recalls, Chrysler 309 recalls, Cadillac’s alone 190 recalls Toyota 139 recalls; and them with out sin cast the first stone. Domestic(?) auto makers now push to produce everywhere but north America, Toyota and Honda with plants in US and Canada are turning more domestic then Ford, Chrysler or GM who just opened a new line in Asia. "Domestic" means production that takes place within the country's borders (Wikipedia). http://twitter.com/economicblow “TOYOTA” The manufacturing sacrificial sacrifice.

I've always leaned more toward GM, but without a doubt we agree on American made. He loves Mopar more than I loved GM, lol, so he wins. ;) Yes, all makes have recalls, but this deal with Toyota is just beyond scary and the way they have handled it is even more frightening! I hope it gets resolved quickly and sending prayers for safe travels for your hubby. .-= Christy´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Shakethesalt/~3/rLsOKE58cuA/" rel="nofollow">Is Your Partner A Snorer?

My family has had problem-free priuses for 10 years. Now my 2010 has braking problems. I feel so deceived. I haven't gotten an email from Tokyo yet,or even a call from the dealer who sold it to me. How safe are my kids now?????? Yikes, I bought my first car in 20 years–a toyota, thinking I needed a reliable car, now that I had to drive kids around.

Apparently, just by getting on the floorboards to read the parts numbers, the dealer/repair shop can tell if the parts are in the series that needs replacing or not. Sure would be nice of Toyota to PUBLISH those numbers and tell folks where to look to check for themselves, wouldn't it? If it were me, I wouldn't want to be in the "if the pedal starts acting up, stop driving" car, since it seems like the whole point is that if the pedal starts acting up, you CAN'T STOP DRIVING. .-= MommyTime´s last blog ..<a href="http://mommysmartini.blogspot.com/2010/02/when-six-year-old-asks.html" rel="nofollow">When A Six-Year-Old Asks</a> =-.
