Toyota

So how many people are going to continue talking them up for all that great quality with the current situation going on?

They told customers to remove the floor mats... Huh? And that would stop the throttle pedal from sticking... IF that was the cause, which it clearly wasn't.

Toyota had a 4million vehicle recall for replacement of floor mats... I couldn't see that being what THEY thought was the problem, but okay... Floor mats were no big deal.

Now we're hearing more, and it includes some of the truth. Toyota has STOPPED production and told their dealers to STOP SELLING 8 different models! WOW!!

Last month or sometime recently, a Toyota crashed in the local area (around Dallas) and all 4 people inside were killed. It is now pretty well known, the stuck throttle led to the panic, and the resulting crash. The car ran through an intersection, crashed through a fence and went into a small lake, upside down. The disoriented passengers soon drown. The water temp was very low, so hypothermia probably set in quickly. It must've sucked, being strapped into your death machine, upside down, water rushing in, disoriented, hearing screams from the other people about to die with you.

The worst part is, such a crash is EASILY avoided by a seasoned driver who maintains composure. Not all seasoned drivers can do that, but in this case, simply steering into the tree(which they went right past) may have prevented the icy deaths. Or yanking the wheel in either direction. Most convincingly, shifting into neutral or turning the ignition key to the off position could've saved all 4 lives. I guess, with todays vehicles, you can't do that until the transmission is out of gear. Of course, the brakes are designed to stop vehicles, so that was another great option apparently not used in time. Anyway, I feel bad for these people and they're not the only ones who crashed so far.

What gets me now is, there are people being interviewed, who drive the affected vehicles with the recall and they're STILL driving and some are simply not concerned. Not concerned, even KNOWING people have died as a result of the faulty equipment offered by their favorite brand... I heard one lady claim that it's all good... They're gonna fix it and I won't have to pay... Gotta love idiocy. I'd be taking my car into the nearest dealership and demanding repair A.S.A.P. after the deadly crash.

If one of these knuckleheads crashed into me, they'd better be in the Tundra, 1st of all... Aside from that, I'm going to get me a brand new vehicle... provided I'm still mobile instead of dead or worse, paralyzed. I would even consider suing due to blatent negigence, for continue to drive after being told the vehicle is unsafe to drive.
