Toyota missed an opportunity to score a PR win. They should be boasting about the billions they’re spending on the recalls (”See — your safety comes first at Toyota!).
To: fish hawk
I was thinking that. However, the facts are that Toyota makes the highest-quality products of any auto manufacturer, with the sole exception of a few other Japanese makers like Honda.
To: GOP_Lady
No apology necessary. (Ford F-150 owner and stockholder).

Their first excuse was that it was defective floor mats. Now its the pedal itself. Gonna bet that it is really the computer.
I had a 1989 Chevy that would accelerate on its own. Went through the floor mat, gas pedal scheme. It was the computer!

Never heard that word before. (I looked it up then) My WW2 Dad had talked of them doing harakiri.
