Right. Any of these "reports" been proven to be true? Or just piling-on hearsay?
Piling on? Yes, Toyota should be exhempt from piling on, please any company that screws up this badly has to deal with the consequences. They knew about these issues, denied and lied about them, and others for YEARS trying to keep their vaulted “quality” perception. Now the PR created bubble has burst, and they have to pay the price for it.
Griping about “piling on” is silliness to the nth degree. GM had to deal with this sort of thing in its past, as has Ford and every other auto maker, they’ve all put products out they knew were sub par and covered it up, now that Toyota’s the one caught doing it, they should get some sort of pass? Please.
