Didn't We Tell You This Was Going To Happen? Toyota Recalls 1.13 Million Cars For Defective ECMs

I wonder if this includes the Vibe.

Actually, I wonder if I even care. I dont own any of these cars. I just wanted to post first for once...

aha GM did followup with a recall for the Vibe.
I do like how the NHTSA got really hyped up about the 163 out of 1.8 allegedly tainted Corollas/Matrix (Matrices?). Compare that with their reactions towards other automakers.

*I'm not saying that we should forgive Toyota although this is more of a quality rather than a safety issue. Of course, I might be wrong.

Lemons keep falling of the lemon tree that is toyota.

Yup. Another day, another toyota recall.

Toyota is the Japanese Yugo.

No big deal happens to every car..........

Soooooo…
Toyotas now gave electronic counter measures on board?
Any chances that they can jam police's radars and lasers?

No big deal it happens to every Toyota.

Take your racist Bull $hyt to another site.

Did anyone ever question why only the American-made Toyotas have such a massive recall? Why only the American-made parts were the root of the problem? Why the other Japanese-made Toyotas didn't have any massive recall?

Few years ago, there was some massive recalls on the US branded products. Those products were made in China but designed by American. How come we didn't blame the US brands at that time as we are blaming on Toyota? If we do the same this time, we should blame ourselves.

Please take a careful look at the Toyota vehicles. I am not the fan of Toyota or the other brands. How come the Japanese-made Toyota, such as Yaris or Highlander have a better craftmanship than the domestic-made? I am not going to argue with anyone. These are the questions we need to think about.

No matter where the parts where made or assembled it was done the so called "Toyota way" under Toyota quality control,and engineering and management. You cant blame the hard working Americans for doing what Toyota asked them to do in order to feed their families. So try to put that BS spin some where else......

There were only 3 accidents. How about Chrysler ? 55 people died of jeep's fire, and they still haven't recall them yet.

The issue of this recall is the bad soldering joint. Let me tell you an example in my company. My company had order a batch of Scosche Power Filters from California. The power filters were made in California. Almost of them had loose soldering joint that needed RMA immediately. The company surprisely denied the problem and blamed our company. Come on, this is not rocket science. Loose soldering joint can be idenified visually. There is no way to deny the responsbility. At the end, VP of Scosche apologized and admitted it was their fault.

I am not surprised that this kind of issue can also be found in the Toyota vehicles. Pooe quality controlled part suppliers and poor Toyota QC management would end up the massive recalls today.

Is Deplhi american supplier?
Is CTS american supplier?
Toyota shall forget american automotive suppliers, they does not know about car technology. All Toyota trouble is coming from US industry products.

The rest of the industry that build cars in the US wait for it USE THE SAME EFFIN SUPPLIERS! Where are the BMW, or Honda, Nissan massive recalls? There are none suppliers are like bakers the make what you ask them to make how YOU designed it with materials YOU select and in the end and it's all done before you pick up your cake it's up to YOU to test this cake and see if it is to YOUR liking. So it all comes down to YOU .A real enthusiast knows this and now you do so don't blame the suppliers or workers any more.

To answer the title. No you didn't tell us.

For uaw_lax:
Do you think, that BMW is selecting US suppliers for the important functions as engine controls, safety electronics?... Ask BMW engineers.

Toyota has same specification for every supplier.
The Japan suppliers can fulfil the requirements without problem.
The US suppliers (and their products) are not reliable. These are facts.

The parts and supply business is a competition. The reality shows,that US companies are loosing. I hope, Toyota will recongize serious business loss to use local parts.

deep water they do use US suppliers. In fact they use parts made by GM.

"Buy American" sounds pretty good now!

I can't say anything that hasn't been said.

Oh but those same taxpayers where even nicer to Toyota for the past 50 years to put factories in the south HUU.... you fail to mention that when you bring up taxpayer money. UAWlax is right on many points and this is one of them

Name one country that don't make cars in Mexico?

And stop lying the suburban and the Escalade are made in Texasfd

Texas

To upwards: Are you sure? BMW X5 & X6 diesels: are there US ECU? Ask BMW.
