@lilydalebunny No! just hit the break. a test showed that normally you need ~35m from 100-0. At full throttle you just need ~40m from 100-0 because the brakes are multiple times stronger than the accelerator. you could also declutch/set on neutral. shutting the motor off wouldnt be good because then you loose your break magnifier. even worse: if you pull the keys you driving wheels locks. just hit the break.
@arielrodrigo: What a sad guy; this dirty guy is S.Korean pretending from Argentina. These guys are who wrote a lot of complaints against Toyota without reason... People who is being paid by hyundai or VANK (S.Korean organization to damage Japan's and China's reputation)... although we don't mind about Asia, we should try to think about these guys.
Toyota just paid out 10 million for this accident in San Diego, and this is the first of a long string of trials. Toyota is pissed that the amount of the settlement was released, because this creates precidence for all the future cases. Toyota also was fined by the US dept of transportation for recalling toyota cars in japan for loss of steering problems, but not recalling in the US. Toyota claimed the US cars were different. They lied. They dont give a shit about americans dying.
@Seirei0417 toyota has the least problems compared to the rest of the motor vehicle companies. but the government doesnt call these vehicle presidents to appear in front of congress because of an accident. This was all government exploitation to help GM with sales. especially because the goverment owns GM. talk about biased.
couldn't the driver just have stopped the engine, slam on the brakes, or at least shift into a lower gear? This is more of a driver education failure than a toyota failure
You can't shut the engine off, if the switch goes to the computer instead of directly into the ignition coil or module.
So when the brakes are at 90% of its operating temperature and now you have a sudden acceleration issue. Your going to tell me the brakes will not overheat. ROFL
Obama's blackness proves he hates Toyata cars. Too bad GM's Escalades and Hummers lost business. I feel bad for the unfortunate non-rich GM customers that were indoctrinated by celebrities to buy GM cars. The floormats.... wow I remembered that occurred driving my solara. I could have put it on neutral but decided to bring the pedal back up with my own right foot. I should have just panicked and call 911 on my cell phone. Could've been famous.
@scotplaya .....you shoulda let the solara take you to the promise land tool. For those of us who never bought obama's bs and who do fact based research combined with real world experience on vehicles because we are auto enthusiasts - couldn't understand the mind of a tool that pays huge coin for an fugly, crappy handling and driving cheapo 2 door camry convertible with a different name on it - nevermind the recall issue.. but that's just me...
TOYOTA-----I dont care if they recall the whole damn fleet, i would go get a mule and wagon before i bought one of those piece of shit GM products, or ford or chrysler, and obama can take that piece of shit volt and shove it up his virginia slims smoking ass
@Miike92 and only a moron would mention this. What is the purpose of this? to absolve or deflect toyota's malfeasance?! Ferrari is an exotic, hand made, ultra low production maker of sports cars for the affluent. How is this comparable to toyota? Did Ferrari hide evidence and throw law suits? Did ferrari manipulate the regulatory system by hiring ex- NHTSA employees to negotiate favourable recall outcomes while more died - even after being approached by State Farm ins. in 04 and 07?
why is toyota allowed to make cars anymore if people do their research in the years of 2009 and 2010 atleast 9 million recalls were made by toyota and for a few weeks some cars were suspended from being sold. when they had the excellerator problem 37 people were killed
My Toyota Camry (2002) surged a couple weeks ago. I wrote a song about Toyota's shameful response. Please pass it on. I am NOT charging for it. I simply have a point to make. Thank you.
in 2008 Toyota sold around 9.5 million vehicles world wide and had a profit of around 18 billion
in 2008 GM sold around 9.4 million vehicles world wide and LOST 38 BILLION, if it wasent for my fucking tax dollars, and fucking idiots like Odumma, there would be no american car companies, because they cant compete w/out the socialist u.s government
@SAMODANO1 Exactly how does this refute anything I've said, or better yet make Toyota a responsible maker of quality vehicles?
Millions of people voted for Obama...he's a great president then?..the best?
Millions of people eat mcdonald's burgers? ... best burger you can get?
Media told us that camrys were the family car to have and it was the top seller? Best mid sized family car then? ...not likely considering it drives like shit, is cheaply made and folds like and accordian in rear crash
@SAMODANO1 fact- Toyota took a 3 billion bail out in 09 in Japan(highly doubt your profit statement)- So Japanese socialist car company good - US socialist car company bad?
fact- All toyota assembly plants around the globe are UNION including indiana ,except for other U.S. plants
Japanese car maker union good- american one bad?
Your a moron focusing on semantics. The trade imbalance with Japan is brutal and supporting toyota considering the junk they actually make is moronic.
Last time I checked, Ford never took a hand out. GM did and Toyota did. That makes you a fucking hypocrite who shoots his mouth off without doing his homework.
You should be a lot more worried about bank bail outs then GM.
Funny thing is that your beloved Toyota will be up the shitter in 10 yrs. Stand alone car company with no R&D that can't make a good car for shit, can't win an F1 race with the biggest budget in history...quitting left their only legacy the highest DNF ratio in F1 history- they couldn't engineer jack shit! Riding on a bought and paid for myth that is all but crumbled, the writing is on the wall...but I digress from..
@guinmaan ...my original point and prediction of the demise of Toyota at least in North America will be actually related to your big GM bitch of the bailout. Fact is that Obama did it to support his union supporters more than anything else - they would have lost their pensions which would have been unfair to some, and tough darts to others. The point is that the chinese would have got GM and it wouldn't have changed things much. When the chinese saw that the U.S. gov't was going to help GM..
@guinmaan ...& chrysler, they went to plan B which was to purchase Volvo from Ford. China's looking to be a BIG player in the industry. This is BAD news for Honda and Toyota who's low end lunch is being eaten by the Koreans and even Ford with their mid to higher end stuff being nibbled on more and more as we speak. What's gonna happen when superior safely build cheap chinese volvos hit the market while Toyota's serving up new sheet metal on 15yr old platforms as usual? Toyota won't ....
@guinmaan ....survive as we know it in North america because they really don't have any brand loyality of substance (all bs reliability like and appliance myth), that is to say their vehicles have no enthusiast following because they are bland in every way. The loyalty they paid for will disappear so fast it will make your head spin. Ford will prosper because they build cars that have soul, and appeal to enthusiasts as performance bargains. Toyotabots will move to better chinese volvo....
@SAMODANO1 yo jack shit i hope w/e toyota u buy goes up in flames the gov has nothing to do with gm chrysler dailmler or ford there is absolutly no bills to be paid they are free odf there gov hold get off gm's dick and try to solve toyotas problems u what forget it u can't fix the problem niether can they infierior car company
@guinn-ok ur not going to change my mind, and im not going to change yours, you drive your fords, and im gonna keep my toyotas,,
im 42 years old, i have had chevys, fords, and jeeps, and i have had numerous problems with all of these, especially the fords and jeeps, we had a ford taurus that the ford place had it in the shop more than we had it, all im saying is in 2003 we made a move to an all toyota family, and it was the best move we have EVER MADE, EVER!!!
@SAMODANO1 Wow 2003 big fucking deal! And if you live in the rust belt you wouldn't even LOOK at a toyota!
Your talking straight from your ass! You have no clue about the current auto manufacturing land scape. The days of the late 80's 90's secret recalls are over as per gov't intervention in N.A. as well as Japan (where plenty of automotive authorities are on and have been after Toyota for decades!) The days of Japan pumping millions of swag into the auto media are over!
@SAMODANO1 great, glad your happy. In my experience going back to the 80's, 90's, 00', til today I've known MORE people the had problems with Toyotas (number one by far) and Honda's then any other cars, no BS. Fact is that the US car consumer has been propagandized by the Japanese car industry who's spent millions shaping the sheeples minds...again no BS and there's books and articles about this abound. The doms were complacent as every company's made bad cars but what matters is perception
now now now, i know some of you had an uncle bob or aunt jane, or dear old dad who had a ford or chevy that drove it for 20 years,,,, BUT WHEN YOU RESEARCH THE RELIABILITY NUMBERS OVER MILLIONS OF VEHICLES, TOYOTA IS IN ANOTHER FUCKING ZIP-CODE COMPARED TO AMERICAN MADE VEHICLES, BUT SOME OF YOU ARE TYPICAL LIBERAL DUMBASS IDIOTS, WHO WHEN THE FACTS ARE PUT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE, YOU ARE STILL TOO STUPID TO SEE THEM
said it once, i will say it again, i have a yard full of toyotas, and i dont care is they recall the whole damn fleet, i will never go back to the american made government run auto industry
right on, welcome to america, most people cant fight their way out of a wet paper sack, this is a product of the government education system, people think that when they get into trouble, that the government is going to swoop down for the rescue, the fact is the gov cant stick its finger up its ass using both hands
GM is now recalling millions, lets see if the gov run media makes a huge deal out of this
CONT- it was a 4-runner, since we have got rid of all american junk and went to all TOYOTAS,
1-4-RUNNER
2-FJU CRUISER 4X4
3-TUNDRA 4X4
and none of them have had a single problem, like i said, i dont care if they recall the whole damn fleet, i will never go back to american made junk, so you drive what you want, and i will drive what i want, and based on my experience, the TOYOTA is a far superior product, TOYOTA IS THE NUMBER ONE SELLING AND MOST RELIABLE VEHICLE MADE-PERIOD
@SAMODANO1 All fucking junk. Drove brand new 4 runner last week. flexy noodley junk, just like the ones I drove off 10 yrs ago - nothings changed! Check your FJ out for crumple zone cracks its become quite an epidemic...more toyota quality. Turdra....00 to 05 full on rusty frame recall you might want to look at that. New turdra, well what's to worry about...buy with confidence! Pretty impressive you have two 2 yr. old vehicles reliable..wow! Face it YOU HAVE NO FUCKING EXPERIENCE!
@SAMODANO1 What model yrs?!! Gee ever held on to a vehicle for a really long time? You must be blind and fucking senseless. I see thin gauge recycled chinese steel that disappears quicker in the rust belts than a baked ham in opra's fridge. I see cheap components everywhere like frames, control arms, hub carriers, leaf springs. Not important though.... I see smaller cheaper rads, oil pumps, water pumps, tie rods, etc. Toyota's are minimally engineered. What the fuck are u looking at?
did you wear out a keyboard today, look i dont care what you say or read in the LA TIMES BULLSHIT PAPER, heres what has happened to me,
FOR YEARS I HAVE DRIVEN 113 MILES ONE WAY TO ATLANTA TO WORK, i live in the mountains and refuse to live in the crime ridden, pathetic city of atlanta, FOR YEARS I DROVE CHEVYS, JEEPS AND SOME FORDS, BEFORE I GOT A CO. TRUCK, and I had PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM with the american made vehicles, then in 2003, we bought our first TOYOTA, --continued
@SAMODANO1 Hey fuckface. I've got a 15 yr. old ford truck. Never a problem. on speed sensor and regular maintenance. In fact, my family has several Ford pickups one 22 yrs. old, one 40 yrs. old that would still be running if a friend hadn't wrote it off, a 13 yr. old one. kid brother thrashed the rear end in the 89 by abusing the old girl but all just regular maintenance and one clutch. BIG FUCKING DEAL. TOO BAD YOUR 4 RUNNER IS A DEATH TRAP IN A ROLL OVER AS IS YOUR FJ AND TURDRA...
@guinmaan AND IF TOYOTA'S SO FUCKING GREAT, WHY DON'T THEY SUBMIT THEIR TRUCKS FOR 2010 IIHS ROOF CRASH STANDARD TESTING!? Because their substandard engineered junk and they were afraid to submit them. Ever owned toyota vintage trucks of the age of the Fords I've listed. Pretty reliable heheh....blowing head gaskets, steering shaft failure, defective tie rods, rusty frames, rusty disappearing bodys, brake failure, and of course their were kept secret by the media. start googling.
@SAMODANO1 Please cite how the La times facts were bullshit? gee I didn't see a lawsuit. We know how good toyota is with their lawyers. Are you saying that Toyota didn't hire ex NHTSA employees to gain favourable recall outcomes with the NHTSA? Are you claiming that Toyota didn't withhold evidence in court cases to protect their rep.? Are you claiming that State farm insurance didn't warn the NHTSA about UIA in 04 and again in 07 after raising premiums for toyota owners. Your an ostrich?
@guinmaan, you must me an obama supporter, you folks on the left are amazing to me, you actually think that chevy and ford are as dependable as toyota? with all the FACTS for you to see and you still think that is true? cmon dude, get real, everyone wishes that was true, but i have owned those detroit junkers, and there is NO COMPARISON, now i know uncle bob and aunt joyce had a old chevy they drove forever but when you look at vehicle history over millions of cars sold TOYOTA IS #1, wake up
This only happen in shit US...while i was in TOKYO i visit every dealer ship and there is no problem.....My self i have Lexus IS F in Kuwait and no problem at all..
@taledarkside Ok....you Dog Shit say that!!!! So now i m saying that " I have from my eyes that Bugatti Veyron have accelerating Problem...and won't go more then 2 Miles" Could you believe???
I know people are making a big deal about this recall, saying this is why to buy a domestic... Seriously? Are you forgeting about the bankruptcy basically all domestics went through about a year ago for listening to their customers? What about that Ford Pinto lawsuit series in the 70s (car exploded on rear end impact)? They never did a recall, bc it was cheaper to pay the lawsuits! Seen Roger and Me? GM puts a town on the streets so they could export the plant to Mexico, ya lets buy from them.
@Fitz207 Thanks for calling my use of the pinto lawsuit pathetic for being so old. I did some research and discovered that this poor design has never been fixed, lawsuits continue to this day. Ford admits in court they have no plans to fix the exploding gas tanks in their cop cars and pickup trucks. The last lawsuit was 2008. 14 cops have been burned alive from this so far. By the way GM also suffered the same problem, but settled for a recall and ate 495 mill in damages. Thanks fitz207!

@0YoungSavage xD thats nothing new That everybody knows how smart American people are x] You mension two ways out ,3rd just brake! ,brakes are stronger than the engine,4th one Jump out of the car if tha 3ways are difficult for You.Who will responce on that is bigger idiot that I mension it ,]
what's the difference between "THE LIZZIE MAGUIRE MOVIE" and toyota actually making good safe cars? people have actually heard of or seen "THE LIZZIE MAGUIRE MOVIE" bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every car gets recalls. It's not just Toyota. Ford, GM, Hyundai, Honda, Nissan and so on.....but the problem with Toyota is that the car itself caused over 100 Americans dead(according to LA times that I read one month ago or so). THAT is our concern.
BTW, Toyota's credibility rating dropped from 3rd to 360. Hard to climb up. Easy to climb down!
damn, you all still fighting over toyota, toyota is by far the most reliable car on the road period, that is a fact, so get over it, obama motors, and chrysler are not even close and anyone with more than 2 brain cells knows im right
@sparwood8 ya and Toyota's have the most chinese content on the fucking road today...but a dumb old hick from sparwood wouldn't have a fucking clue. Good job bringing facts to the table in the debate as usual. WHEN THE MESSAGE CAN'T BE DISCREDITED....DISCREDIT THE MESSENGER! ....LEFTY WACKO STYLE!
just call up shops in your area and find out how much they will charge you to replace the pump. Or find someone that works on cars and have them do it for you.
make sure they use a BOSCH or AC Delco fuel pump. otherwise some chinese fuel pump will leave you stranded.
Obviously, GM is doing what the public likes with all four brands posting an overall 43% increase, with Lacross increasing 236%, Chevy Equinox sales doubling, zooming Camaro sales, etc. Can't wait until the new Cruze and Volt makes their debut.
@sparwood8 GM. lied! They used T.A.R.P. (troubled asset relief program)money,which is Federal Funds (our tax money) to pay back 8.1 billion. They borrowed 52 billion from the Federal Government to begin with and haven't turned a profit in years! The Federal Trade Commision is checking into these false clams by General Motors!
@lander4545 Know what? I hope you are wrong. However, nothing surprises me any more. OBTW would you lend money to a business that hasn't turned a profit in decades? NOR turned out a decent product in just as long?
Didn't think so
IN Canada we are taxed to death, but I like our guy better than B.O.
wow, you folks really believe that GM FORD AND CHRYSLER are as good as TOYOTA? really, ,,,,,,,,really? how did we get to a point in this country to where we have this many stupid people walking around,,,oh i forgot,,,GOV. EDUCATION
@Rac665 No doubt. I never picked my cars on how they did in the races though. Just me being silly. I will take a Camry 4 cyl over a Malibu, or V-6 over an Impala, and ANY Toyota over any Chrysler product. I have owned all of them (Yeah, I am old)
@taledarkside You need to learn how to read a profile. I was born before your grandaddy. 1945. Now do the math and shut your mouth. I have owned 2 Malibus and 3 Impalas. the 77 Caprice Classic was the only good one of the lot. Delta 88 was a piece of crap, but hey... wha-do I know, I am stupid and know nothing about cars.
@taledarkside Your malibu/Impala has to have the GAS TANK removed to replace the fuel pump. In a Honda or a Toy', you just open the trunk, pop open the access port, and 20 mins later; you're done. OK, for you we make that an hour. Great engineering by GM. $900 is what buddy spent to replace the f/pp on an Impala.
99% of all cars need to have the fuel tank removed to replace the fuel pump. Oh i forgot, you never worked on cars. And not all hondas and toyotas have that access port. Not all chryslers have that access port.
maybe your buddy is dumb. Since a fuel pump only costs 300dollars for an OEM and takes less than 1 hour to replace. Shop labor cost about 90 dollars. So your buddy got ripped off by 500 dollars.
If you wanna talk about repair shops ripping people off, thats another topic all together. And your buddy did get ripped off, if it was just a simple fuel pump replacement.
repair shop having a lift. 2-4 bolts to remove gas tank, remove filler hose, remove harness, and remove fuel lines. remove fuel pump. reinstall everything. takes an hour tops.
I know people that say "oh i like this shop" and don't care if they get ripped off.
@guinmaan How should I remember what I was saying??? I posted that probably 3 months ago. I really don't care. I get to this stie and see a bunch of childen arguing and bickering. Sorry, I have other things to do.
@guinmaan Now you are lecturing me again. and the cheap shot 'Old man" makes me laugh. Can you swim 2 miles? do 45 pushups? Bet U can't.. but yeah, I am old
This is blown way out of proportion.... think about it. There are many recalls on domestic vehicles too. The spot lite is on Toyota for a good reason.
I dont believe any of this. No way would toyota allow something like this to happen. To all you loudmouths out there, TOYOTA DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE HAND! Stop with all of your lies!
I have to laugh at how the media goes after the competition to GM and Obama motors.
HEY, did anyone notice that GM have a recall? It was on about page 65 of the Vancouver Sun, unlike the Toyota recall, which the media is making into another Edsel thingy
Toyota has been paying off the auto media, and various levels of gov't for DECADES!
THE REASON THE MEDIA DROPPED THE GM COBALT POWER STEERING RECALL WAS BECAUSE IT'S REALLY A TOYOTA RECALL! THE PART IS OUTSOURCED AND IS MADE BY TOYOTA! TOYODA MOTOR WORKS/ KOYO SEIKO!
yup, the media is going after a company that just killed more than 10 people. I guess the media never investigated firestone tires years ago when it killed people.
they shouldn't allow stupid people on the internet
@taledarkside You have no sense of proportion. How many people died in car accidents in March? Just in the US. How many died because of fualtiness in say for eg; GM? If I ever get into a poker game for money; I hope you are there too.
GM steering RECALL is really a TOYOTA PART! Talk about a conspiracy! Where is the media?!! Part defective is made by TOYODA MOTOR WORKS/ KOYO SEIKO!
As soon as this came out the media dropped the GM cobalt steering recall like a hot potato! There is no GM obama/media conspiracy against Toyota! In fact Toyota has spend millions propagandizing the U.S. consumers for decades...lying about defects, secretly fixing cars and buying off media, politicians and victims for decades.
What a bunch of bullshit. Toyota get real with the program tell the consumer the truth. You perfectly developed a piece of shit vehicle. The problem is is simple your throttle body that has no emergency cutt-off like GM which cutts power to avoid throttle from getting stuck, so much for making GM vehicles will always outlast your engines so much for being in a bind. GM develop the Chevy 350 will outlast punishment any day.
THE TOYOTA REWARD NOW STANDS AT $2250 cdn for the first person who provides valid confirmation of a faulty part or system in a Toyota that has caused the car to accelerate out of control causing an accident.
google Matsuda, ex auto engineer and founder of Japanese auto consumer union. He's been after Toyota for decades. To paraphrase he claims that everything toyota does in in secrecy, and that Toyota has secretly fixed defects unbeknownst to their customers for decades! He says Toyota has repeatedly, knowingly allowed it's customers to drive defective vehicles! Last time I checked he's Japanese!
@carquestions Toyota has repeatedly and knowingly let their customer drive defective vehicles for years. So not announcing recalls, offering a free oil change, and then replacing the tie rods unbeknownst to the owner is above board?! Your a fucking TURD to defend Toyota. Your talking straight from your ass. 10 yrs. of time bomb head gaskets, secret steering defects across entire line etc. etc. etc. is good engineering? BS on Ford let them go unfixed for decades - cite ONE example!
If you fix cars you must know FIRST HAND what cheap POS's toyotas are. What engineering prowess they have. Gee they broke the record for highest DNF ration in Formula one with the largest budget in history! Toyota MUST be VERY competent! I especially love the 6 figure lexus w. trunk hinges like grandpa's 69 galaxy. In case you've been under a rock, many toyota employees expressed concern 6 yrs ago about toyota's plummeting quality. Ex engineers claim their goal is to do it cheaper.
Toyota has the largest fleet of lawyers/lobbyists of car makers in the USA! Toyota has made campaign donations in the millions to 40% of ALL U.S. Congressmen over the last 10 yrs! Toyota is the only company to hire EX NHTSA employees and send them to high profile crash invest. to negotiate with the NHTSA on Toyota's behalf! Looks like a much bigger conflict of interest than Obama/GM to me! Toyota EDR secrecy is criminal! Toyota has given millions to consumer union who PUB. CONSUMER REPORTS
@guinmaan Another Hillbilly who doesn't know a damn thing about US auot history - Ford was called a criminal by a Judge in open court - Ford has lied to congress - get over it you hypocrite
Your just a kool aid swilling MORON who is REACHING for excuses! Fact is your beloved Toyota's ARE CRAP AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN! AT LEAST FORD DOESN'T LIE, WITH HOLD CRASH DATA FROM EDR BOXES, OR LIE ABOUT WHAT DATA IS OBSERVABLE, SECRETLY FIX CUSTOMERS DEFECTIVE CARS THEN PAY OFF CONSUMER REPORTS AND THE MEDIA TO LIE TO US ABOUT HOW STERLING THEIR CARS ARE! YOU GET OVER IT YOU WASTE OF SKIN! ARE YOU STUPID? CAN'T YOU READ? EVEN JAPANESE AUTO CRITICS ARE AFTER TOYOTA! SOME CONSPIRACY!
@carquestions go to carcoverup(dot)com. Here an interesting taped conversation(s) between a Lexus i250 owner and a lexus tech who also owned one that accelerated on it's own TEN TIMES. See the admitting of a problem, then the lying and back peddling - ALL CAPTURED ON TAPE! THE TECH ADMITS THEY'VE SEEN MANY 250'S WITH THIS PROBLEM! MAYBE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO HEAR THIS THOUGH AS TOYODA'S COCK IS LIKELY IN YOUR EAR IF NOT IN YOUR MOUTH. FUCKING IDIOT!
The smartest way to move forward without killing your self its by not buying a toyota . I guess the japs forgot that the best way to make business its by not killing their customers with their products . They should rebadge the toyota camry , tundra , sienna and prius in to toyota kamikaze car , kamikaze truck , kamikaze family killer & eco kamikaze ...
March 17, 9:03 p.m. - The NewYork Prius investigation preliminary results are in - and......brake is 0% accelerator pedal 99.9% - The local Sheriff has all the details and copies of the investigators evidence. He seems rather unimpressed that there is not more to the story according to witnesses of the investigation
ive been to sydney, and on a safari in the out-back, and there are ford and chevy dealerships everywhere in austrailia, but when you get into the back country, probably 80% of the vehicles you see are TOYOTA,,,FACT IVE BEEN THERE AND SEEN IT MYSELF,
Are you really this much of an idiot! Australia is ONE country that has in fact U.S. domestic competition! What I said in the other 100 plus countries where U.S. origin vehicles ARE NOT EVEN AVAILABLE! SO I'LL ASK AGAIN.....HOW IS NO CHOICE BUT A TOYOTA A SEAL OF APPROVAL OF TOYOTA'S QUALITY AND REPUTATION! PULL YOUR HEAD FROM YOUR ASS!
what you are seeing is a socialist president who basically runs most of the media in this nation lending a helping hand to the USELESS UNIONS by trying to destroy toyota,,,,,,,,WONT WORK, TOYOTA IS IN ANOTHER TIME-ZONE compared to american made junk, if you cant see whats going on here, you are simply a FOOL
@danosamo1424 Talking about Toyota's "superior quality",how come you don't EVER see any Toyota's at any classic car shows or in any parades?? That foreign garbage doesn't last to ever be considered a classic!
Oh please the media attacked the american car industry when they got a bailout. They focused on the American companies getting it, that 90% of people didnt even know about Toyota getting a bailout. It's not americas fault that Toyota did not act on the problem fast enought. Toyota put themselves in the mess they made, by not listening to their customers, and not fixing the probelm that has been going on the past 10 years with Toyota. Only a dumbass would stick up for this company.
Obviously it is moved by the American GovernMent/GM...
This is easy to see: If I buy a incompetente company and my target is 'emerging' this company (Obama's comment, January 2010)... what can I do to get market share not DESTROYING the national companies... Trying to destroy the foreign companies to steal their market share... hahaha... The people is ridiculous if they can't see that :)
This is what happen when people trust AMERICAN GOVERNMENT, AMERICAN COMPANIES: See what happened with Goldman Sachs See what happened with Lehman Brothers See what happened with DETROIT, the city American companies laugh at people and especially DETROIT is the example of what's happening in the US and now, just because of their bad method of business are trying to destroy a good company with this 'movie' by GM/Government

@lilydalebunny No! just hit the break. a test showed that normally you need ~35m from 100-0. At full throttle you just need ~40m from 100-0 because the brakes are multiple times stronger than the accelerator. you could also declutch/set on neutral. shutting the motor off wouldnt be good because then you loose your break magnifier. even worse: if you pull the keys you driving wheels locks. just hit the break.

@Seirei0417 toyota has the least problems compared to the rest of the motor vehicle companies. but the government doesnt call these vehicle presidents to appear in front of congress because of an accident. This was all government exploitation to help GM with sales. especially because the goverment owns GM. talk about biased.

couldn't the driver just have stopped the engine, slam on the brakes, or at least shift into a lower gear? This is more of a driver education failure than a toyota failure

You can't shut the engine off, if the switch goes to the computer instead of directly into the ignition coil or module.
So when the brakes are at 90% of its operating temperature and now you have a sudden acceleration issue. Your going to tell me the brakes will not overheat. ROFL

Toyota has been paying off the auto media, and various levels of gov't for DECADES!
THE REASON THE MEDIA DROPPED THE GM COBALT POWER STEERING RECALL WAS BECAUSE IT'S REALLY A TOYOTA RECALL! THE PART IS OUTSOURCED AND IS MADE BY TOYOTA! TOYODA MOTOR WORKS/ KOYO SEIKO!
Keep talking from your ass.

yup, the media is going after a company that just killed more than 10 people. I guess the media never investigated firestone tires years ago when it killed people.
they shouldn't allow stupid people on the internet

@taledarkside You have no sense of proportion. How many people died in car accidents in March? Just in the US. How many died because of fualtiness in say for eg; GM? If I ever get into a poker game for money; I hope you are there too.

So now your stating that an accident is the same thing as a manufacturing defect.

GM steering RECALL is really a TOYOTA PART! Talk about a conspiracy! Where is the media?!! Part defective is made by TOYODA MOTOR WORKS/ KOYO SEIKO!
As soon as this came out the media dropped the GM cobalt steering recall like a hot potato! There is no GM obama/media conspiracy against Toyota! In fact Toyota has spend millions propagandizing the U.S. consumers for decades...lying about defects, secretly fixing cars and buying off media, politicians and victims for decades.

What a bunch of bullshit. Toyota get real with the program tell the consumer the truth. You perfectly developed a piece of shit vehicle. The problem is is simple your throttle body that has no emergency cutt-off like GM which cutts power to avoid throttle from getting stuck, so much for making GM vehicles will always outlast your engines so much for being in a bind. GM develop the Chevy 350 will outlast punishment any day.

THE TOYOTA REWARD NOW STANDS AT $2250 cdn for the first person who provides valid confirmation of a faulty part or system in a Toyota that has caused the car to accelerate out of control causing an accident.

google Matsuda, ex auto engineer and founder of Japanese auto consumer union. He's been after Toyota for decades. To paraphrase he claims that everything toyota does in in secrecy, and that Toyota has secretly fixed defects unbeknownst to their customers for decades! He says Toyota has repeatedly, knowingly allowed it's customers to drive defective vehicles! Last time I checked he's Japanese!

@carquestions Toyota has repeatedly and knowingly let their customer drive defective vehicles for years. So not announcing recalls, offering a free oil change, and then replacing the tie rods unbeknownst to the owner is above board?! Your a fucking TURD to defend Toyota. Your talking straight from your ass. 10 yrs. of time bomb head gaskets, secret steering defects across entire line etc. etc. etc. is good engineering? BS on Ford let them go unfixed for decades - cite ONE example!

If you fix cars you must know FIRST HAND what cheap POS's toyotas are. What engineering prowess they have. Gee they broke the record for highest DNF ration in Formula one with the largest budget in history! Toyota MUST be VERY competent! I especially love the 6 figure lexus w. trunk hinges like grandpa's 69 galaxy. In case you've been under a rock, many toyota employees expressed concern 6 yrs ago about toyota's plummeting quality. Ex engineers claim their goal is to do it cheaper.

Toyota has the largest fleet of lawyers/lobbyists of car makers in the USA! Toyota has made campaign donations in the millions to 40% of ALL U.S. Congressmen over the last 10 yrs! Toyota is the only company to hire EX NHTSA employees and send them to high profile crash invest. to negotiate with the NHTSA on Toyota's behalf! Looks like a much bigger conflict of interest than Obama/GM to me! Toyota EDR secrecy is criminal! Toyota has given millions to consumer union who PUB. CONSUMER REPORTS

@carquestions go to carcoverup(dot)com. Here an interesting taped conversation(s) between a Lexus i250 owner and a lexus tech who also owned one that accelerated on it's own TEN TIMES. See the admitting of a problem, then the lying and back peddling - ALL CAPTURED ON TAPE! THE TECH ADMITS THEY'VE SEEN MANY 250'S WITH THIS PROBLEM!

The smartest way to move forward without killing your self its by not buying a toyota . I guess the japs forgot that the best way to make business its by not killing their customers with their products . They should rebadge the toyota camry , tundra , sienna and prius in to toyota kamikaze car , kamikaze truck , kamikaze family killer & eco kamikaze ...

March 17, 9:03 p.m. - The NewYork Prius investigation preliminary results are in - and......brake is 0% accelerator pedal 99.9% - The local Sheriff has all the details and copies of the investigators evidence.

Oh please the media attacked the american car industry when they got a bailout. They focused on the American companies getting it, that 90% of people didnt even know about Toyota getting a bailout. It's not americas fault that Toyota did not act on the problem fast enought. Toyota put themselves in the mess they made, by not listening to their customers, and not fixing the probelm that has been going on the past 10 years with Toyota. Only a dumbass would stick up for this company.

Agree with you. And more information:
This is what happen when people trust AMERICAN GOVERNMENT, AMERICAN COMPANIES: See what happened with Goldman Sachs See what happened with Lehman Brothers See what happened with DETROIT, the city American companies laugh at people and especially DETROIT is the example of what's happening in the US and now, just because of their bad method of business are trying to destroy a good company with this 'movie' by GM/Government
