Another blow for Toyotaphiles. *******************************************

TOYOTA had the high recall numbers because of FLOOR MATS .... let me say that again ... FLOOR MATS ... you see Toyota generally has buttons/snaps on the floor to hold the mats in place... they had a few accidents because mats got bunched up under the brake or gas pedals ... because they had the "retention devices" and because those devices "failed" they had a recall ... if they didn't have snaps/hooks for the floormats then there wouldn't have been a recall.

This is like those quality surveys where Porsche comes in behind Mercury because Mercuries buyers are all 70 or older and couldn't spot an "initial defect" with both hands and a spotlight.

I know a guy with a Grand Marquis with 280,000 miles on it. He's replaced the heater core, brakes, battery and fuel filter. This is his second one. He got nervous about the other one needing repairs and sold it with only 250,000 on it. He has a third with something like 100,000 miles on it. That's his "go to church" car. Many of the commercial limousines in the area are Lincolns with the 4.6 V8 in them, that are regularly driven 300,000 miles.

Friend of mine has a Lexus (fancy Toyota), which has had, respectively, a transmission, window switch, door lock solenoid, struts, sway bar links, and probably some things I'm forgetting, all with less than 80,000 miles on it. I'm not convinced about Toyotas being better.

That is the BS that Toyota is laying for now FLOOR MATS.

THROTTLE BODDIES WILL BE NEXT

THEY ARREADY ISSUED A RECALL FOR PRIUS BRAKES

YOU CAN STILL BE IN DENIAL ALL YOU WANT

TOYOTA QUALITY IS DROPPING

THEY JUST ANNOUNCED 30% COST CUTTING ACROSS THE BOARD FOR PARTS

MORE RECALLS COMING

BTW THEY CAN’T GET FLOOR MATS AND PEDALS RIGHT ?

KILLED DOZENS OF PEOPLE IN USA AND JAPAN?

GM AND FORD CAN DO FLOOR MATS, YES FLOOR MATS AND PEDALS CORRECTLY. WHY CAN’T TOYOTA?
