They might have been just a hair biased or even disgruntled towards their former employer.

Just great, so now we cant toggle between F and R above 3 Mph? I live in MAINE! It IS REQUIRED that you toggle between F and R at about 20 mph!

I guess I will stick to my manual transmissions, thank you... (And laugh at all those people who have a drive wheel stuck in a slippery mud/ice hole as they call for a tow truck)

goofy things happen all the time in the auto's I just expect ford gm and chrystler to be treated like dirt also when toyota point's some of their flaws out.

we needed to do/find something they were killing us in sales right?

I dont recall this big of a fuss over them suv's and tires a few years back that were blowing out and rolling and also there were suv's that were losing there steering and going off the road rolling etc. my buddy had a blow out on his and rolled it and he fell on his dad's side and broke 1-2 of his ribs from the impact there were many more accidents with them then what there harping on toyota for by a long shot.

they treated that like it was no big deal and off the news and tv within a week.

I don't care for toyota and never have really so I am not trying to stick up for them I just think there being a little tuff on them to make there sales plumit while we get back in action becuase we certianly did not treat ourselve's like that when our auto's go goofy if anything it is hush hush like they tried to do and some of the time's the dealers offer a cash/deduction bribe instead of fixing the damn thing like dodge gave someone I know they were offered a buy out for around 10K off there new veicle becuase it was a lemon due to the transmission going every other week and the could not fix it were it worked like it was supposed to.

TOK:
Read up on Chevy pickup sidesaddle fuel tanks and Ford Ignitions if you think Japan is being treated unfavorably because "they were beating us in sales". The show 20/20 actually rigged a Chevy to blow up when they couldn't reproduce the claimed results of the fuel tank problem.

Toyota screwed this up themselves. They've apparently known about it for a while, and when it became public they tried blaming it on floor mats instead of addressing the real issue.

Exactly I never knew of heard of that until you just mentioned it to me.

I have heard all about toyota lately though  :cheers:
