So, another day another Toyota recall. I cannot believe in this day and age, we didn't see this coming. There is no explanation of the issue, just a recall and a stop on the production of 50% of the Toyota models on sale. I would like to know what is causing the problem. Toyota will never tell, even if asked, so maybe this is the best we can expect.
Wouldn't it be nice if car companies got together and worked on projects? (I am looking at you NUMMI). Or maybe if people liked car companies for there vehicles and not the image. I mean, really, as a Ford guy there is no point in discussing Fords's with a Chev guy, and I am pretty sure it goes the other way as well. Now as the angry Chevy guys go stuff another 350 into something, I will make some point here. In the next paragraph...
Here we go. What the hell is with all the fanboyism going on?. I have been gracing a few forums about Mustangs, being that I am trying to buy one, and have seen people happy about this failure of Toyota's product line. This just saddens me. I admit I am a Ford guy, but I have a buddy named Brian who works at a Toyota plant, and now he is being sent home for the next week while the plant is idled to solve this issue. He has 4 kids and cannot afford to lose the time. I feel for him and his family, and you should too. I think we should all hope this issue get resolved before someone else dies a fiery death. Lets all hope Toyota gets this solved quickly, then all the fan boys can go back to the appliance jokes or the Rustang remarks. Man, the internet should have a required intelligence level. Don't even get me started on the word "Epic".
This all leads to my next point, do you think that they should make "Unintended Acceleration Emergency Training" Training(?) part of Drivers Training. You know, what you should do, how to stop a car if the situation arises. I do. Comment if you like. Also I urge people with driving age children, make sure you go over this with them. It could save there lives.
