Toyota To Recall 270,000 Lexus and Toyota Cars For Defective Engines

Quality right there!!

They are indeed having issues. Add this to the fact they already delaying everything in the pipeline and you get a hint at how bad it must have become.

the fallback is good, imo
aha

I think we can expect good cars for another 10 or more years. :P

The Jap Kill Machines strike again !

Anyone who would buy a Jap guy must be out of their minds.

Again no surprise here that Toyota makes trash. We all will deboosted down to negative 6 from only two guys with 9 fake accounts claiming to love Toyota.

Well... now if your toylex unintendedly accelerates, there is still a chance of the engine stalling to save you... hehe, I kid I kid. Anyway, I thought I read about Toyota already having this problem 6 months ago in their Matrix's.

If you don't want to be a victim of Toyota just trade it or don't buy them. They just know what they have being hidden all of this years. Protect your whole family and relatives from this.

More sales for the Germans.

Yes we report almost every recall, you just happen to notice Toyota more often.

They post all brands ....

This is great to now if they don't have enough sincerity we are more safe to check all of this pages and CR too. Remenber they never said anything about the Lexus SUV was the magazine and then they said they need to replace the software bla bla bla and update bla bla bla we need to check clearly all of this details. people sometimes try to safe money without limit of consecuences. There is one of them. Don't become a victim of them.

So much for Lexus being "independent" from Toyota. Lexus fanboys claim the chasis, engines, etc. are different. Lexus hides behind Toyota when the recalls are made. For any other news, Toyota is not mentioned.

I remember the old FJ (land cruiser) from the 70's and 80's when I was growing. I was so proud of Toyota back then.

Hopefully this is where Toyota changes there strategy and start with there quality control being stringent again, the quality of all non Toyota brands is going to push Toyota to up there poor quality, hopefully they don't waste the money on advertisements instead of getting to the issues.

If they change is to late is not time to play competitions very hard and customers have several problem to find one more for a simple reason yeap to buy a car from an Old company because is not new but they save money and make trash things for theirs customers. TO LATE.
I prefer don't talk about Toyota AD because I almost get mad every second yoo see one on TV lier lier lier this trash is not for me and not for my family. If you want to become a victim just take one.

pepitol66, that is what I was trying to convey, lets hope that Toyota spends the money on build quality, but we all know that they will spend it on advertisements and lie to us.

This is the reason most people are switching to Nissan and Honda.

and, Ford, GM, and the many European brands.

In 2007 I was researching vehicles and I needed an A-B car to commute 150km a day, gas was also way up. Safety is also a big issue, All the research pointed to the Honda, safest,best handling, fastest,sportiest...And I had already owned 3 Toyotas at this point, I let reality dictate my buying decision, not blind emotion,
Can you imaging if all people thought like that how good vehicles would be!

that's funny, let me try it.

Whenever Toyota has something negative it gives the three stooges (badgewhore, invisible, huu76) something to blindly defend.

I would still take Lexus quality over many of the other brands. Recalls are a fact of life for all car makers. This just happens to be news because it involves a company that is associated with an outstanding quality history.

I think you mean a history outstanding quality issues. That is to say, unresolved, ongoing, and newly discovered quality issues.

Poor quality and serious safety concerns will always be news-worthy.

wow....this is bad news for toyota/lexus. quality has been the lynchpin of their brand. considering that they don't do anything else better than the luxury competition, this is sure to lead to even lower retail prices.

Shocker...

Mercedes has reliable engines its the electronics that let people down

All of this reminds me of the issues the Germans had in the 80's. Suppliers letting them down.

That would be the underlined "Read Article" just above the picture of the LS.

EEP OPP ORK AH AH
KAput Kaput das motor is Kaput! lol
Do all cars suck now or what?

Toyota and the Special Toyota's (Lexus) are rolling bullsh*t. So when driving and pursuing perfection and your special Toyota shuts down mid-lane change and leaves you stranded, one can pursue the service advisor to come get the Toyota!

You know that sound you hear when water is circling around the drain? I hear it at Toyota.

Great read!

I was telling people as early as 2004 that Lexus quality and reliability was nothing more than a marketing myth...People told me I was wrong and now I get my day in the sun.

Good post.

gm took care of all there recalls not like toyota lieing to every one about no brakes,bad engine, bad ecms,hybird battery warrenty it goes on

I know everybody is going to de-boost me and thats fine but well I just wanted to put up some facts from first hand. I work at a toyota dealership and our sales did not drop from the last recall scare and just yesterday month end close out, we sold 20 new cars. Not a Toyota fanboy or anything but well Im sure there are people out there that worry more about the first hand experiences than all of the trashing, so thats my input. I dont deny that people called about the recalls but I think our dealership did a pretty good job with dealing with the worried customers.

Your sales may be "good" but if you look at the numbers, Toyota actually lost market share over the last 2 months. The trend is downward, not upward, at this time. Remember, GM and Ford ruled the U.S. auto market in 1979 and then in 2009, twenty years later, they about died.

It's called momentum and trends, don't lose sight of what Toyota is consistently not doing.

Another one bites the Dust!

toyota is offering 0% financing for 5 YEARS on all cars. that's the only reason sales haven't totally collapsed.
