OT: Toyota statements “misleading and inaccurate”

I still think that Toyota makes superior products.

Look at the new Prius. The stamping and body work on that car are beautiful. The creases on the metal are perfectly executed. Compare that to a round, bulbous Ford.[/quote]

Yeah, cause you are gonna care about style and all that green bullshit when the accelerator is stuck and you crach into a ditch on the side of the road.

You have your priorities straight, that’s for sure.

The 2010 Prius may have an issue with the regenerative braking system. I own a 2010 Prius IV and sudden loss of brakes has happened once. I’ve driven the car 8,000 miles so far. This is my reply to a priuschat.com thread where several Prius owners were discussing the issue.

From 12-18-09:

“I experienced this on my IV last week. To make a right turn, I started braking just as the front wheels hit a bump on the road. Braking power was not there with the usual pedal pressure. It was like the breaks became very weak. It lasted for about 1/2 second and then it started to brake as usual. I may have increased the pedal pressure to force this. I almost missed the turn. No other incidents since or before. I will try to replicate the event under safe conditions.”

From today’s U-T:

The irony that is behind the Prius… There’s also reported problems that in certain cases when driving on slippery conditions like snow, it’s traction control brings the car to a complete stop….

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/04/prius_traction.html

So, basically what we have here is a “vehicle” that stops when it’s not suppose to and can’t stop when it needs to.
LOL…..

Anyway, these recalls, howerver are bringing the worst in a lot of people. Just reading on autoblog…

You have a guy that wants to return his truck to the dealership after buying it, and when refused, crashes it into the dealership blaming it on unintended acceleration.

Then you have a group of folks now suing Toyota because they feel they shouldn’t have to make any car payments/lease payments while their cars are recalled.

Not defending Toyota’s fiasco, but is there any surprise why some folks who got over their head in a housing now are screaming bloody murder….
