But Wait! There's More!

Last year, the number one automaker became the biggest automaker in one very significant category, and they are making further strides in addressing customer service.

No—it isn't GM serving consumers with the best service out there. It's another Toyota recall!

Discuss.

What?!

I used to think of Toyota as a good, solid car. Now they just seem like piece of craps to me.

It's a shame too.

Toyota is recalling 45,500 2006-'07 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and 36,700 Lexus RX 400h vehicles in the U.S. because a power supply circuit fuse could blow, causing the hybrid system to stop.
See, I told you that my camaro purchase was better than some "green" car.

They got so caught up in mass production...... the quality (and design) fell off quickly.

Better to have the hybrid powertrain shut down rather then send you accelerating to a flaming death.

You'll still careen to your death at an unintended and unstoppable velocity. You just will waste more gas than usual in your so-called green hybrid.

What can you expect from a car company that still thinks this is competitive?
