Toyota Says Company Is ‘Grasping for Salvation’

Frankly I think they're going to have to look at their pedal layout, because I never heard of floor mats becoming an issue in jamming up gas pedals on such a scale.

Toyota has had many more recalls than just these two. There have been dozens since 2000. This is just the largest.

Hence why I said "significant problems."

I could see how that would happen...if you were exceedingly careless.

This whole recent recall is nothing more than a needless CYA. Toyota must feel like crib manufacturers right now. 20 incidents a year and they recall millions of cars.

I guess you forgot about the rest of your post. I'll help you out....

I think most car companies have significant problems. Two in a decade is not that bad, in my opinion.

I think any reasonable person would think that you are claiming they had only these two recalls.

Read the first sentence of the post you quoted... :doh

Anyway, this is is simple English 101. Since I had mentioned "significant problems" in the same post, it is reasonable to believe that the "two" I was referencing was in relation to "significant problems." Considering that I did not use the word "recall," there is no reason to believe that I was referring to one.

I see. So the other recalls by Toyota were not for "significant problems" in your opinion?? :roll:

Yeah, I'm sure they recalled thousands of vehicles because the wiper blades wore out too fast.

Cute, but hardly a substantive response.

That's because I wasn't replying to a substantive response.

Fluff only requires additional fluff.

So you've got nothing, then? Cool. Have a nice day. :2wave:
