Toyota owners, be afraid, be very afraid.

Did you guys hear about the suspension of all sales of multiple models?
We had a crash involving a Camry in my town. (I stand corrected, it was a Lexus, made by Toyota, nonetheless.) The news clip released a sound bite of the 911 call. It made my skin crawl, just listening to the conversation before all four members of the family died in a fiery crash.

Fark ! Lucky i was never a Toyota fan...
-
yeah.. they pulled a lot of cars in US and Europe..
strangely, the "budget" cars like mine which were made in Thailand are okay...
but then, it's 5 years old

Yes it was a Lexus. My bad. Here's the story:

Some Ford vehicles are affected too because they use the same parts from the same company that supplies Toyota.

My wife drive a Camry. But luckily a 2006 model that is unaffected by the recall...

When I was in the market for a new car last year, one of the vehicles I had shortlisted was a 2010 Corolla XRS. However, I dropped it from consideration after a thorough test drive highlighted shortcomings such as vague steering and delayed throttle response. In retrospect, I'm glad I did not buy the Corolla as it would have been included in the current recall.
I ended up getting a 2010 Mazda3, and couldn't be happier!

Did you hear the one about the guy who had heard about the gas pedal problem and decided to drive his Tacoma to the dealership to return it? His gas pedal got stuck and he crashed into the dealership.

wow, i mean im not the biggest fan of toyotas but thats a bit too harsh lol. toyotas are crap as drivers' cars but they're excellent family and vocational vehicles (or at least they used to be). prius on the other hand are pretentious, superficial nimwitts, i always make it a point to overtake or cut off a prius
