Toyota Recall

[Buster]

Toyota recalls 1.7 million cars for fuel leaks​

The recalls are mostly in Japan, but include Lexus IS and GS luxury sedans sold in North America. That's where the world's No. 1 car company faces the biggest challenges in winning back customer trust.

What? This thread isn't all abuzz with activity? I mean all the allegations and such against Toyota you would think someone would at least retract a statement or two. Maybe say that they rushed to judgment... No?

Tell you what, I won't hold my breath.

There is no reason to apologize. In fact, I'd still say Toyota has much to learn about how to handle issues.

Not so fast with that government apology to Toyota, Mr. Cavuto.....


Recall that Toyota did not come to their customers first either with an admittance there may be problem. No, they delayed, then delayed some more; they withheld so as not to degrade their overly protected quality image. By the way, they had too cozy of a relation with government. Perhaps the government felt betrayed. After all, the customers were.

Toyota was dishonest in that respect, which is precisely why they were fined a record 48.8 million dollars. They broke the law, Neil. Should the government apologize for that?

Was it an overreaction? Not when people are dying. If it was your family, you’d be suspicious, too.

That’s why the electronic accelerator system issue was an obvious candidate, whether you are an engineer or not. How do we trust Toyota when they held back and blamed everyone else for the previous two proven issues? Answer is, you can’t.

Trust but verify! Otherwise, why did the government go to NASA? Surely, you could not trust the corporate character of Toyota.

You can't trust Toyota.

But you CAN trust government workers at NASA who actually did thescience review, and made their published results available to the general public.

I hope everyone knows that GM had the same problem with their cars in the 1990s and early 2000s, one almost killed my Daughter, in the end there was no assistance from GM so I just disconnected the Cruise Control. It was electronic by the way. :nuts:
