Gee, I guess "Toyota quality" means "kinda crappy." :/

 

Old news.

Prius starting March 2005 has the fix already. It was a TSB originally, but decided to make it a recall to make people happy.

 

You're talking about its legendary "crapability" there! It's that kind of "crapability" that will take the company to the top.

Now, here's the real issue: should I buy Ford's stock right now? It's at almost an all-time low ($7.66). I mean, if I bought some right now, what does the future hold for Ford? Btw, Toyota's stock is at $92 (approaching an all-time high). To buy or not to buy? That is THE question!

 

i guess "one problem in one model" means "the whole company is crappy" :/

 

it does to some people. And toyota has had more than one problem in one model :/

 

Well atleast the tank doesn't fall off or tires blow up.

 

or the gas pedal falls off like the new Civic:

Get a grip on reality - ALL car manufactures have recalls EVEN (oh my can I say it?) Honda.

 

My S2000 has had three recalls - seat belts, tail lights, and spark plugs. What crap, eh?

 

Toyota OBVIOUSLY makes a good product, but they apparently have been sitting on their well-earned laurels a bit too much and industry rumors are that it's slipped a little bit in quality over the past few years.

Of course, in Toyota's defense, they have been crapping out more cars than ever and whenever production goes WAY up, quality will invariably come down a little bit.

No car company is immune to problems. With some notable exceptions, MOST car companies have become fairly close in overall quality and reliability, certainly enough to fall within statistical deviation.
