Honda And Toyota Scramble To Assure Public That Their Cars Are Probably Safe

Toyota is advising U.S. owners to keep passengers out of front seats until defective Takata Corp. airbag parts are replaced, four months after following the same procedure in Japan. Takata faces investigations into whether exploding shrapnel from its flawed parts are to blame for at least four deaths involving vehicles made by Honda, including a Florida crash that was initially investigated as a homicide because of deep gashes to the victim’s neck.

That's Toyota's thinking these days "poor quality and reliability" And the race is on for Toyota and GM to see who can have the most recalls and problems at the expense of people's lives.
