Toyota Issues Largest Global Recall Since 1996 - 7.43 Million Vehicles

TOYOTA doesn't seem to catch a break. Regardless of the number of recalls, TM will remain the #1 auto seller in regards to number of vehicles sold. This is why I don't buy the "reliability" BS when I purchase a car. They ALL have issues! Some slightly more than others.

Well the only reason it may surprise some, is due to the fact for year Toyota actively hid defects to avoid recalls. History will probably show over time Toyotas are generally recalled as often as Chevys.

The 7 million number is due to the shear number of vehicles produced using a common switch. When you have big volume, you have big recalls.

"This is why I don't buy the "reliability" BS when I purchase a car."

- Reliability BS? You know you're talking about Toyota right? A company that builds perfectly reliable cars. This is just an Obama plot so he can sell his GM cars.

Ouch and LOL!!!!!!


Toyota Recall? not surprised. Toyota is the recall king. Must be that "Toyota Quality" that I hear the ToyotaBots talking about all the time here.


Now watch some bully attack me for posting this. All in an attempt to prevent me from posting here. Que my Stalker/Bully. Go ahead. Attack and insult me. Write a post about how I "ragequit" when the term doesn't even apply. Write crap about how no one wants me here. When in realty its only the Toyotabots that want that.

What's funny is that he actually thinks that those bullying techniques will get me to stop posting here. Go ahead call me a girl, woman, child, whatever you want. I'm still going to post here and you cant stop me or do a damn thing about it.

The best thing to do right now is ignore him. Which is what I'm going to do. Ignoring people is something that he seems to be incapable of. He sees a post from me and it burns his skin. I'm not sure why... So go ahead and knock yourself out. I'm going to show you how to ignore someone. Something you need to learn.

so the potential fire is not a result of the actual parts of the car or the assembly of the vehicle butin the case if someone attempts to add some lubricant to the car window button to help with the "sticky" feel that could cause a fire "in some cases."

Sounds vaguely similiar to how the acceleration issue was the result putting mats in the car which say not to put in the car on top of other mats could cause unintended acceleration.

Honda had a similar recall last week, probably the same supplier?

This is funny. Toyota recall, instant turn around time from press to Autospies.

NHTSA launches investigation into Hyundai Veloster glass roofs shattering when driving down the highway, has yet to be mentioned on this site. I wonder if a Toyota "investigation" would garner such hush-hush or if it would be treated as a recall.

Anyway, I'll take a broken power window over an exploding roof anyday.

Not likely to affect Toyota sales.

Window switch huh??

Great read...

Hey Agent009,

while you're at it can you please Post some articles about the recalling from BMW new M5 and M6 and the recall from Hyundai, Kia and other automaker as well.

Yes even autospies belove brands like BMW, MB, Audi, Hyundai and Kia has recall as well. I'm just tire of ONLY seeing most recall articles are from Toyota or Honda.

And there is more recall from those brands but I think you get the point. No brands is perfect. Every auto companies has it problems but number being sold versus being recall is very small for the Japanese brands. Like it or not it's the truth.

The more you comment, the more this joke of a website makes advertising dollars. I wouldn't be surprised if they're subsidized by the Korea gov' as part of their cultural exports.

Still no shattering Veloster roof news, not even an attempt to blame Toyota for making a crapy design that they copied the flaws as well.

Do you suppose she prefers being called Double-Seoul-9 or 00Nein?
