I may be wrong but i havent seen any threads about toyota's collosal $h!t storm thats raining on their heads right now.... does anybody have the inside track as to whats going on? i know what the news says, but theyre often full of it...
I personally thing that the US is going at toyota EXTREMELY hard for their first major flaw in AGES... could this be to weaken toyota while bolstering ford and GM?! SURE SEEMS LIKE IT! hyprocrites... after all the damn recalls that american cars have REPEATEDLY?!?! pisses me off! also... i got a letter from toyota about my gas pedal lmao! ITS A CELICA!! --------------------  QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM)  You want power but have no money. That's a problem. Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two. |

update:
apparently the recall has not worked. Some owners still feel the pedal get stuck, and the ecu brake over ride flashing doesn't work all the time. |

It's too soon to tell though if the recall has not worked. Toyota is looking into it, and IIRC it's a VERY small number of people who have made claims that they're still having the same problem. It could totally be psychosomatic. Call it "automotive hypochondria" perhaps?

Toyota is checking the black box on the "new issues" and finding some to be false claims. |
