This has been an ongoing problem, documented as far back as 1999, and investigated by the Feds in 2004.

I posted to a thread all the links to those stories, but I was summarily beaten about the head and body by the “my Toyota has 6 million miles on it...” crowd.

Toyota does make a good car, I like Toyotas. They should have acknowledged this and been up front about a long time ago. It would be an non issue right now.

now, now...trial/tort law bein what it is, the bean counters had a 'magic number' to hit before recalls/redesigns were cost effective...

same as all other companies...

they just happened to all come in a major cluster...

Im not a toy fan, but theyre nuts and bolts and lawyers like all the rest...
