  • the U.S. is trying to scare people so they can stop foreign competition.... the same way the government invented a new flu to control people in making them pay money to their friends big pharmaceutical companies... when the media keeps repeating news like this the U.S. gov wants something..

  • Their vehicles still kick the shit out of everything else. Domestic brands have had more recalls in the last 5 years than Toyota had in their entire existence.

  • @mspires1138 you are a moron

  • The way I see it is if your stupid enough to buy a car that may be recalled you deserve to die. My parent got rid or all their Toyota's and replaced them with Hyundai's. I even bought a Ford Taurus. You know something safe and reliable.

  • @danielssss Not true we see too many Toyota getting in to wrecks.

    my Corolla Has a brake recall I think all corollas made from 1998-2010.

    And my Corolla has a faulty engine it will die and shut down while driving or idling. Does it every once in a while two weeks or so. It also is a 2009. My parents LS 430 did the same thing.

  • this is also called terrorism...

  • Seems like the safest Toyota are the Scions!

  • I had a Prius & totaled it cuz I used the emergency brake in the rain & didn't hear the tires skidding for a long time. ANYWAY, I had the 2005 model & when approaching a stop sign I hit a small 2 inch deep hole & I almost ran the limit line. I pressed the brakes on full power but it was not even close to "locking up". Manual brakes could stop in half the distance. Another time this car stopped for a jay-walker per a left turn & I jerked to the right to extended distance & the brakes dragged ass

  • Toyota President Akio Toyoda,

    Do the honorable thing and fall on your sword Sir!

    You disgraced your ancestry and the Bushido Code by covering up your industries engineering mistake. They too need to fall on their swords as well for holding back that information or not exposing it way sooner. You have ruined many peoples lives for your dishonesty. To just say your are sorry for this astronomical mishap is shameful and unforgiving to the general public.

    You have no honor Akio Toyoda.
