Re: Toyota "Quality" - 2.3 million vehicles recalled

Ya, Toyota is getting hammered on quality issues lately. They've also been accused of covering up safety issues.
Sheeple take a long time to change their views.
How true this is, how true.
One or two isolated problems will not bring down a company with 30 years of worldwide reputation for quality. But if there is evidence of a cover-up, they can pretty much kiss their image goodbye. A recent poll showed about 1/3 of loyal Toyota customers are already thinking twice about getting a Toyota again. Credibility is hard to built and easy to destroy.

Toyota recalls 8,000 2010 Tacoma trucks
Problem with drive shaft could cause vehicle to lose control

WASHINGTON - Toyota is recalling about 8,000 Tacoma pickup trucks from the 2010 model year to fix a problem with the front drive shaft that could cause the vehicle to lose control.
The automaker told dealers Friday that a crack could develop that could lead to the front driveshaft separating and falling from the truck, causing the vehicle to lose control.
While small in number, the recall is the latest issued by Toyota, which has called back 8.5 million vehicles worldwide for faulty gas pedals and brakes. The recall involves 4-wheel drive Tacomas that were built from mid-December 2009 to early February 2010.

Yup, it's a simple fix. The problem is, industry experts have been saying the floor mats and the sticky pedals are very minor and very rare issues and Toyota is either being overly cautious and safety conscious or being misleading by conducting such massive recalls. The real problem they suspect is with the electronics which Toyota denied. They claimed the testing methods used by Toyota and the government are flawed. Only a portion of unintended acceleration cases were actually caused by floor mats or sticky pedals, the rest are still unexplained.

Hybrid owners are in a group of their own. They're almost cult-like.
