The problematic part on the toyota is built by a company called CTS. guess what, they build TONS of parts on your ford too. SO, by your reasoning should you not buy a ford either?

has anyone heard the 911 call with the guy saying that he has no brakes because of the stuck accelerator, and then they crash into an intersection where they all die?
that was gruesome just to hear that recording.

i havent heard that but i suppose i dont want to either. the local moring show was talking about this topic this morning and a caller called in and told a story about her mom that was killed in one of these toyotas. the throttle stuck and she swerved to miss a group of kids waiting for the bus and she slammed into a tree and died. whatever the issue is, i hope they remedy it fast becuase it not only endangers the owners of those vehicles but also everyone around them. dont get me wrong, i know every automaker has its problems but IMO, this is too big of one to miss and could damage a companys reputation for years, even for a company with a hugely overated quality record as toyota. i feel for the employees affected by this shut down but i hope this is an eye opener for the toyota fanboys that there "superior quality" jap crap may not be as great as once thought.

i think that the total death count for the yota's problems is 15!
after hearing that 911 call, i am glad to see that they are not blaming the problem on floor mats, like they were before, and taking responsibility of what has happened.
if they dont do something major, i think that it will tarnish their name for a while, IMO.
