So Toyota has all of the info(non-biased I'm sure) that states 90% of these accidents could have been alcohol related and they choose you/your group to share that with...c'mon.....

In the article it says that Toyota provided the NHTSA with 10 devices to read the boxes back in March.

Sooo toyota made this story up to gain money and say their customers were at fault? Either that makes no sense or I read it wrong.

According to that article, your understanding is right. Or at least it agrees with my understanding and we are both wrong then

I guess that million dollars an hour they're spending found this problem too.
Then again maybe all these problems can be linked to this supposed police reports that say drivers are drunk.

Toyota recalls 1.1 million Corollas, Matrixes
Thursday, August 26, 2010
Last updated: Thursday August 26, 2010, 1:59 PM
The Record
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Toyota recalled 1.13 million Corolla sedans and Matrix hatchbacks Thursday because their engines may stall, the latest in a string of quality problems at the Japanese automaker.
The recall covers vehicles from the 2005-2008 model years sold in North America. Three accidents and one minor injury have been reported, though Toyota said a link to the engine issue has not been confirmed.
The automaker said vehicles with 1ZZ-FE engines may contain a defective engine control module, the computer that regulates the performance of the engine. In some cases, a crack may develop on the module's circuit board, which could prevent the engine from starting, harsh shifting or an engine stall.
Toyota said it will replace the engine control modules on the recalled vehicles at no charge. It will begin mailing notifications to customers with affected Corollas and Matrixes starting in mid-September.
Toyota Motor Corp. has recalled more than 10 million vehicles worldwide over the past year for a range of problems, including faulty gas pedals, floor mats that can trap accelerators and braking problems in its Prius hybrid.
Federal regulators have been investigating the possibility of engine stalls in the Corolla and Matrix models since December and intensified their probe earlier this week.
Toyota shares fell 28 cents to $68.78

10 million cars recalled in the last year. That is insane! How people continue to go to Toyota dealers and purchase vehicles is astounding.

I wonder the same thing. People need to start looking beyond brand loyalty and focus on facts.

Because people are stupid. There can be 20 million cars recalled, but all Toyota has to do is put out BS ads like "we invest $1 million a day in safety" or "my Toyota has 400,000 miles on it" and the public believes it.

should really say, "the government makes us spend $1 million a day in safety through recalls"
keep in mind also guys, the reason so many cars are recalled are because they sell so many cars. if a problem affects all camrys, or all corollas, you better believe that number will be astronomical

I understand why the actual numbers are so high. What really floors me is the percentage of their cars sold in the US that have been recalled.
This is from then end of July: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Toyota...43097.html?x=0
Quote:
Thursday's announcement brings the size of Toyota's recalls to about 9.5 million cars and trucks in the U.S. since October, with some recalls affecting models as old as the 1998 model year. That means of the 24.1 million vehicles Toyota has sold in the U.S. since 1998, as tracked by Wards AutoInfoBank, Toyota has recalled about 39 percent.
|
So add another 1.1 million cars to that recall total (now 10.6 million), and you are looking at roughly 43%-44% of all vehicles that Toyota has sold in the United States in the last 12 years has been recalled within the last 10 months.
That's insane......

A lengthy investigation by NASA into last year's Toyota Motor Corp. recalls found that engine electronics played no role in incidents of sudden, unintended acceleration of its cars, U.S. officials said Tuesday....
The investigation is likely to be the definitive study into Toyota's recall of more than 8 million starting in November 2009.
