I disagree. It is beginning to be seen that Toyota knew about these problems and deaths and dragged their feet. Just as Ford did with the Pinto and GM did with their trucks in the 80’s.

I had no problem with Toyota until these events. But when a company knows their vehicles (Throttle by wire) has a problem and they are too worried about their ‘reputation’ to do a recall, that is criminal.

The key word in the headline may well be "excessive". I am sure every news channel is reporting the story, yet Toyota only pulls advertsing from one? Makes me think that Toyota felt ABC was crossing the line between normal reporting and a clear bias against them.

Eventually, this will likely go thru the courts is my hunch . There are lawsuits to be settled over incidents where loss of life or serious bodily damages occurred.

You can bet the legal and PR staffs are working overtime.

I have owned a couple Toyotas, never been recalled, just bought a new truck,, knock on wood.

The Toyota Dealers pay for their ads.

It is their money they can do with it as they please
