Toyota suspending sales

It's not a floor mat problem.

Its a throttle by wire system.

From what I've read it's not an actual drive by wire system, it's related to the arm of the accelerator pedal. This arm is made by a company called CTS here in North America and is what has alledgedly been causing the issue.

So, it's ok to manufacture faulty products that kill people so long as

a) a recall is issued quickly after people die, and
b) they haven't killed too many people with their cost-cutting measures in the past

That's what I'm getting from your post, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong Maybe it's just me but "well Ford did it first" is a pretty pathetic justification

Not justifying, but acknowledging the ones who manufacture less faulty products. Still sad, I guess.

But nice of you to only comment on the spelling mistake in the title...

I'm surprised you have, considering there is only a handful of them.

A handful that have crashed. Many with symptoms. My friends corolla constantly has the revs creep on their own and sit at 1500rpm afterward on idle.

all you Toyota nut-huggers are hilarious!

the ONLY reason they are suspending sales is because they DON'T HAVE A FIX for the problem yet. I can guarantee that if they did, they would still be selling these cars to the public.

Ford had the problems with their tires blowing out (which really isn't their fault). what did they do? did a RECALL and replaced tires for their customers. that is what you expect from a manufacturer.

any of you that think that Toyota has your best interest in mind and not the all mighty dollar are seriously delusional. they initially blamed the problem on floor mats because it was cheaper to do so!

So now we know why Glock crashed into the wall at Suzuka last year....

IMO, this is going to seriously hurt Toyota's reputation, similar to how the Firestone Tire debacle hurt Ford's. They are covering the issue all over the news, especially the US news is headlining it. Even if the fix turns out to be the simple replacement of an accelerator arm or computer reflash, etc, the fact that they've had to suspend production and sales of eight high-volume models is going to scare a lot of potential customers away.

Like another poster above said, it's a good time to be Honda or Nissan.

Iif only you could read properly, it says the first and last letter have to be the same while the letters in the middle of first and last can be mixed.

Meh, we just purchased a Venza yesterday and I'm not too worried.

maybe after they fix this they will have really freaking good deals.

Nice!!!
Just curious, why do they never have good rates on the fit or the pilot?

Also just saw that crosstour thing, have you seen it yet? How does it look in person?
The Acura one looks pretty good.
