Despite reading many posts on FR slamming Toyota, I am reserving judgment on all of this. It seem very strange that after the government gets into the car business, the top selling company suddenly has all of these safety issues. The timing is not by coincidence IMO.
I'm in the same camp. I've owned Toyotas all my adult life (since 1977). Every one of them have been excellent, reliable and they Just. Won't. Die. We're currently still driving a 1996 Camry and a 1991 Camry wagon.
I admit we do not have any of the later models that have been recalled...
I agree. I think the problem is very real (though not necessarily in this particular case), but serious attention to it seems to have been suppressed for quite a long time, until it became politically useful to shine a spotlight on it.
