I talked to a friend. He told me he had brake problems with his new Audi A4 back in 2004 that cause traffic accidents. Later on, he can replicate the problem again and took to mechanical repair, it was found that there are oil leak in the brake pipe.. What I want to say problems are everywhere in the car, just toyota is unlucky

I know both friends and family that just swear by Toyota. Up and down they go praising Toyota. Yet they always seem to be in denial about their problems. Coil packs going bad on a brand new Tacoma, or how about the classic Toyota Camry blowing oil smoke from bad seals, or better yet the "weird" problems in the electrical system that act like a bad computer in a brand new Tundra. But they always say the same basic thing. It's just a one off problem, and that's not normal. Toyotas arent that great

Most terrible things are GovernmentMotors, Blond Errors and propaganda.

But I think recall and making better cars are good manner. Then they should apply to themselves if they could learn that claim makes cars comfortable.

Toyotas suck ass in terms of performance. Especially Prius apart from gas mileage But you get what you pay for.

Toyota and Honda have been letting their quality slip for years ! they ignore problems and are arrogant . Now it's coming back to haunt them .

That explains why Honda is recalling cars for the faulty air bags now? You people just need to admit that Honda and Toyota aren't all that and a bag of chips.
