why is this only happening in the usa?

I've had mechanical gas pedals stick. The linkage of rods and cables can become gummed up and not smoothly function. All machines fail. In my experience Toyota makes cars that fail less than those of other manufacturers.

United States of Hypocrisy. Will drag people in front of your politicians but no one can pull YOUR business men who fuck up over the coals.

These videos are a mockery when you see them in context.

I like how you compliment and insult 3 countries at the same time.

They have to sell a lot of cars to made ends meet. Toyota is being competitive since they faced a lot of competitors like Honda, Hyundai, Ford, Nissan, et al.

Their upper end/higher quality brand is the same as Mercedes/BMW. Lexus cost more to made and so a higher price tag.

Considered the result of the late tsunami disaster, we are all mortal. There are still a lot of room to grow and improve.

That is nonsense. Trade relations with the Japanese have enrich both sides of the shore as well as advanced the two civilizations farther from the rest of the world. What we learn from it, is that wealth of nations are not merely a balance or distribution of wealth but included also wealth creation. While physical resources are limited, labor and human capital are abundant and near limitless.

Mr. Akio Toyoda has been pimped-up in suits and invited to powerful meetings. Instead of just building cars, his company has now been placed on the New York Stock Exchange. There are handshakes and cameras with American Corporations. Remember that Wall Street was the reason why the system crashed in 1929. It was also the deep rooted reason why WW1 and WW2 was fought.

I was 19 when the first time I drove my brother’s Toyota.

I'm 41 now, I have my own Toyota.

My daughter is 13 now and I already promised that I will buy her Toyota when she'll turn 20.

I always feel confident when I drove Toyota.

Please don’t tell that I’m obsessed with Toyota car!!!

It's such a feeling that I can’t describe.

Oh what a feeling!!! TOYOTA.
