I do not revel in their mess, I know people in the culture who need their jobs as well. but as the guys from Inland Fisher Guide told me what was under the dash and in the doors was not as robust as what they designed for GM. And their is the story I heard of hollowing out the little plastic interior panel fastener to save money, when is enough enough.
But as in a discussion with my auto gnome today this thing has even uglier legs..
From my gnome, a guy in (Jersey?) a year or two ago charged and sentenced on vehicular homicide in his Toyota and the jury thought he was smoking crack because his defense was the car accelerated on it's own. What and where does this go?
Thank-you and you are dead on. This is only the tip of the iceberg and has been coming for a while. Toyota tried to hold it off for as long as possible but it is worse than we know. Anytime you have cooperate email bragging about how they negotiated 100 million dollar savings with the government on recalls, it is blatant disregard for your, quality and disrespect for your customers. They don’t respect Americans, heck they have only recently got on the CSI bandwagon. Talk to long time Toyota buyers. Their customer service used to suck, because it could. They did make better cars and their ego matched it. They didn’t care about their customers. Finally however their quality lagged as well. Surprisingly they didn’t learn anything from GM.
Now I’m being lambasted for telling it like it is and being called a troll. Thanks for the support. I’m no troll and everyone has to be inspired to sign up sometime. Today was the day, this thing has legs and it ain’t going away.

PS....................I feel bad for the customers, but not Toyota
I read this story this weekend about a guy from St. Paul that is currently sitting in jail with a similar claim:
