Toyota Moving Forward (EVEN WHEN YOU DON"T WANT IT TO)

[MacPowerBook]

I agree. Toyota made a mistake. Of bringing their manufacturing to America. Now that many Toyota cars are made in America, they have lost their quality. In fact, the Camry was rated #1 on the American-Made car index for 2009, ahead of cars like the Malibu and F150. The 2009 Sienna had more domestic parts than a Buick Lucerne. Toyota's in Australia and Japan did not have these problems. Chrysler used CTS pedals and they recalled, Ford stopped truck production in China because they used CTS pedals

Are you all morons? Government Motors can't sell a vehicle unless the media gets involved. If O'bama said you no longer have a cock, Would you ever piss again?

the only toyotas recalled were the ones made in America which used cts pedals. the ones made in japans used denso pedal which were not recalled. I find it funny how people blame toyota when its really Americas manufacturers fault for using cheap ass pedals. i also find funny how Chevrolet, pontiac, gmc and doge have toyota beat in recall problems. Chevrolet had almost 5X the recalls toyota did with gmc coming 2nd. make all your jokes but Toyota have some of the best cars. FACT

Toyota didn't make the mistake, the driver did. If you are going 120+ mph, the first things you should do is shift to Neutral and shut the engine off. Also, maybe we should CHECK the floor mats so it isn't stuck to the accelerator.

So a small brake shoe inside the rear brake rotor will stop a car. ROFL. Or how about a rear shoe that only has enough pressure to hold car from rolling back on a hill.

must be those idiots that never fixed a car or has a degree in engineering

@taledarkside It has also been called, for longer than your pathetic "life form" has existed, an EMERGENCY BRAKE. Look it up asshole, then go Eat Shit and Die!

@TheMrBlinx

Or your a moron

no such thing as emergency brake. And its parking brake. And i can drive my car easily with the parking break on. Toyota has a stupid push button ignition, takes 3 seconds to turn the car off.

Nasa concludes toyota has mechanical failures with their pedal assembly.

keep wearing the tinfoil hat
