Toyota Recalls

[why?]

so 99 people died 1 one car in one accident? Hmm, so now we know where all the clowns went.

Toyota's aren't selling for less, but rather they are simply being fixed at Toyota's expense and selling for the same they were 6 months ago. Amazingly, we haven't really been hurt b this recall, as we still are selling more cars than anyone else on the block. And we have ALL the manufacturers on the block, so no one is excluded. This is not to metion that "Geting the cars fixed" is something that won't cost anyone anything, because Toyota is footing ALL the bills here. Just another way for them to make more money. Want to see a real failed product? Dodge claims the best minivan on the market, with their Dodge Caravan, yet I haven't heard of more than 2 or 3 making it past the 120K mark. The engines keep blowing up. And I am sure plenty of people can back me up on Toyota's longevity. I see more than I care to count over 150K miles, and lately we have even taken several in on trade that are over 200K miles. We are even selling them on the lot, so if anyone is interested in a high mileage Toyota, let me know. I will continue to be a supporter of Toyota, as I was before I started working there, and I will be long afterwards. Heck, even theives know where the money is. Toyota sports 3 of the top 10 vehicles stolen in the US.

Not to start waves... but Eric we are from the same neck of the woods, and I used to before I moved actually sell your coworkers parts for their dodge/jeep vehicles. I have to disagree with you on the caravan thing... they do last just like any other car out there and I know a ton that went well over 120,000 miles... and some over 300,000 mark, rare to see them at the dealership with that milage but once in awhile.... they might not be the prettiest thingsout there but they do work great as a minivan.... a 3.3 with the trans especially after 2000 are the most solid drivetrain you can get in them. make it a short wheelbase without rear a/c and not much to fix on them front shock mounts and swaybar bushings are the most common complaints on them. might not be pretty but will run with the best of them. And who could beat the price, like any other american brand they don't hold their value so you can pick up a used one cheap... Working for dodge I bought a new one fully loaded except leather for 13,500 that was in 2007.. can't go wrong there. still have her and running strong not one problem yet....

not stupid . We test drove an '09 COROLLA and the steering was one of the reasons why we went with the YARIS . The COROLLA seemed to wander ( lose ) on the interstate during the drive . The YARIS more tight . Someone we know that has an '09 says her steering seems awkward . Not sure if the electronic steering in the COROLLA is set up different than that of the YARIS . Programming ? Parts ? The 2 YARIS we have are quite tight and responsive . Like the ride of the YARIS better . The COROLLA had more engine noise too . Maybe due to the 5w-20 motor oil that's now used in the newly designed 1.8 ltr. motor for the '09 and 2010 COROLLAs . The new engine STEERED us away from the COROLLA as well .

lol wut ? specialty cars always lose money



the Corolla made more money for Toyota than any other car
has made for any car manufacturer...ever.

+1.
I really like the new design "S" Corollas. I would not hesitate to buy one, but I'm broke!

[roxy1]

my Corolla gave me almost everything i wanted moving up from the yaris. a quieter engine, less road noise, smoother ride, much smoother shifting in the manual, BUT...

...any wandering the yaris did was due to its weight and tall profile in the wind, not the steering so much.

toyota, imo, never got the eps right in the corolla. now that it is being looked at, i am one who would be happy if toyota was prompted to find some kind of adjustment to the eps that would improve it.

Seems scary, if it happens to you.

I dont believe toyota intended for someone to hack into the computer and foricibly cause a short. I smell some bs. Im sure you could short things in other vehicles that were not intended to be shorted and cause all kinds of problems.

My dad drives his 90' Toyota Camry everyday to work (he's owned a 86 Camry, 90' Camry current, 1998 Camry), commuting 30 miles each way, rain, shine, wind, etc....has never...RAN AWAY....

I drive my friends 05 Toyota Corolla S, he drives hard, i baby it going to Tahoe and everywhere...it hasn't escaped from him, has it? 60k + miles...still running like a beast.

Toyota wouldn't screw people over...why, after such a long period of time?

F- the media and GM...i drive a Japanese, more importantly, a Toyota...not touching anything other than a Japanese or...German (Audi).

There should be some guidelines set on posting any more recall threads on here~ It seems like people are sinking themselves more and more into this subject than any other subject they took in college...lol
